In this homework, we will analyze how to design battery packs for EVTOLs by understanding the intricate link between the application and choice of the battery chemistry and its performance. You are a battery engineer who has been offered a gig to design the battery pack for one of the five EVTOL manufacturers. You may choose one of the five EVTOL aircraft to design the battery pack and build a battery model.
