Based in the UK, Helix manufactures the world’ s most power-dense electric motors and inverters for the automotive, motorsport, marine and aerospace industries. Operating from Milton Keynes, the company brings together a team of 150 people with more than 20 years of experience in designing, building and delivering electric drive systems. We learn more about what the company does and what sets it apart from Derek Jordanou-Bailey, Chief Engineer of Helix’ s Aerospace division.“ Our team are experts in full-system electric powertrain development. We do not just lead in motor and inverter development; we also bring the system integration expertise to combine those components into optimized powertrains designed with full-vehicle performance in mind. Drawing on deep industry knowledge in thermal and electromagnetic management, simulation and precision manufacturing, our team has consistently produced the world’ s most power-dense radial flux motors and inverters, offering the highest power per kilogram of any solution currently on the market.
“ The roots of our modern operations lie in extensive consultancy work in e-powertrain development and production. We have also been a key partner in some of the world’ s most ambitious e-powertrain projects for many years, drawing on our long-standing leadership in electric motorsport. By enabling unprecedented power at low masses, our solutions are ideally suited to frontier electrification applications. This is why we have expanded beyond our motorsport and automotive roots into sectors that are earlier in their electrification journey and have long been constrained by the power density of available propulsion solutions, such as aerospace and marine. In recent years, we
