Vicor collaborates with Ampaire, a company developing electric aircraft, to promote environmentally friendly air travel with high-efficiency power systems -- applying proven aerospace power solutions to simplify design and shorten time to market.

Vicor Corporation (headquartered in Massachusetts, USA, CEO: Patrizio Vinciarelli, hereinafter referred to as Vicor) has announced a collaboration with Ampaire, a company developing electric aircraft (headquartered in California, USA, CEO: Kevin Noertker, hereinafter referred to as Ampaire).
In the automotive industry, growing concerns over the increase in carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions have led to a global rise in demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). A similar shift is occurring in the aviation industry, where reducing the costs of electric aircraft could expand air travel to remote areas that lack aviation services and increase the number of airports and transfer points where short-distance "air taxi" services are available.
Ampaire is working to realize this vision by developing safe, quiet electric aircraft that are environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Ampaire aims to achieve a 90% reduction in fuel costs, a 50% reduction in maintenance, and a 66% reduction in noise during takeoff and landing compared to traditional combustion engine aircraft with its zero-emission fully electric aircraft.
