Abstract: Hybrid electric propulsion system-based aircraft designs are paving the path toward a future greener aviation sector and thus, have been the major focus of the aeronautical community. The fuel efficiency improvement ...

Abstract: Electrically driven ducted fans (e-fans), either underwing-mounted or located at the aft-fuselage, can potentially improve the system overall efficiency in hybrid-electric propulsion architectures by increasing their thrust ...

Abstract: Abstract. Aircraft electrification for propulsion is a promising way to alleviate the negative environmental impact of conventional carbon-powered aviation. Inclusion of the electrical powertrain aims to enhance design ...

Abstract: Abstract. Hybrid electric aviation is a possible step toward sustainable flight. Several hybrid architectures and synergetic concepts have been investigated. However, environmental performance results seem to be inconsistent ...

Abstract: Abstract. Turboprops offer a promising pathway for sustainable aviation, as they can achieve high levels of propulsive efficiency and reduced installed drag compared to high bypass ratio turbofans. Turboprop engine cores, ...

Abstract: This work is a feasibility study of a 19-passenger hybrid-electric aircraft, to serve the short-haul segment within the 200–600 nautical miles. Its ambition is to answer some dominating research questions, during the ...
