THE PROJECT

MINOTOR’s strategic objective is to demonstrate the feasibility of the ECRA technology as a disruptive game-changer in electric propulsion. The MINOTOR project will bring the ECRA technology from TRL3 to TRL4/5, in order to demonstrate its potential in a large range of thrust levels.

MINOTOR will prepare roadmaps paving the way for the 2nd EPIC call of 2020, in alignment with the overall SRC-EPIC strategy.
