Integrated Electric Propulsion

Integrated Electric Propulsion (IEP) combines the power systems for an aircraft or ship into a unified setup, using electricity to generate thrust instead of traditional engines. It typically involves using turbines or engines to produce electricity, which then powers electric motors connected to propellers or fans. This integration allows for more efficient and flexible control of thrust, reduces weight and complexity, and can improve fuel efficiency and performance. IEP is especially valuable for advanced aircraft, ships, and space vehicles seeking to optimize energy use and reduce emissions while maintaining high power and reliability.
