Skylife Engineering Wins the INNAERO 2026 Award for Best Aerospace Innovation Project with Power4Air

The project, coordinated by Skylife Engineering as part of the European Clean Aviation initiative, promotes the development of key technologies for future electric and hybrid aircraft propulsion.

Skylife Engineering was honored with the Best Aerospace Innovation Project Award at INNAERO 2026 for Power4Air, an R&D&I initiative focused on developing technologies that will help make the next generation of electric and hybrid propulsion systems in aviation a reality.

The award was presented during the second edition of INNAERO, the aerospace innovation forum organized by Andalucía Aerospace, the Association for Management Progress (APD), and the School of Industrial Organization (EOI), held in Seville. The event brought together companies, technology centers, and industry professionals to present projects that are driving technological advancement in the aerospace industry.

Power4Air: Technology for the Electric and Hybrid Aviation of the Future

The transition toward more sustainable aviation requires the development of increasingly efficient, safe, and reliable electrical systems. In this context, Power4Air addresses some of the key technological challenges associated with the integration of power electronics into future aircraft.

Coordinated by Skylife Engineering as part of the European Clean Aviation initiative, the project focuses on three key technological areas: electrical fault detection, reduction of electromagnetic interference, and improvement of the reliability of high-voltage power electronic systems.

These advances are essential for meeting the demands of electric and hybrid propulsion systems, in which the safety, robustness, and reliable operation of electrical components are critical.

Through Power4Air, Skylife Engineering is contributing to the development of technological solutions that will enable progress toward new aircraft propulsion architectures, in line with the challenges of electrification and decarbonization facing the sector.

Recognition of a Commitment to Aerospace Innovation

The INNAERO 2026 Award for Best Aerospace Innovation Project highlights the technological significance of Power4Air and its contribution to one of the major challenges facing the future of aviation: developing electric and hybrid propulsion systems that meet the aviation industry’s high standards for reliability and safety.

This recognition reinforces Skylife Engineering’s commitment to research, technological development, and innovation applied to aeronautics, as well as its participation in European initiatives aimed at advancing the sector’s technological capabilities.

The award also highlights the potential of the Andalusian aerospace industry to develop advanced technologies and contribute to the transformation of aviation through innovation.
