Bringing the EV and hybrid age to aviation
A white model plane emblazoned with the logos of Marquette and other partners sits in the Werner Sustainable Energy Lab in the Opus College of Engineering — a vision of the future. Nearby, Dr. Ayman EL-Refaie, Werner Endowed Chair of Secure and Sustainable Energy Systems and professor of electrical and computer engineering, and his faculty and student partners work fervently to help that vision of electric-powered and hybrid aircraft take flight.
