Plain-English Explainer
EUROCAE ED-312 provides guidance on determining failure modes in lithium-ion cells for eVTOL applications.
The document addresses definition and detection of cell failures, causes of failure, material-level failure modes and interdependencies that can inform verification and validation strategies.
Understanding credible cell-level failure mechanisms is foundational to battery-system safety analysis, containment strategy, monitoring and certification evidence for eVTOL aircraft.
