Finger, D. Felix (author), de Vries, R. (author), Vos, Roelof (author), Braun, Carsten (author), Bil, Cees (author)The number of studies on hybrid-electric aircraft is steadily increasing because these configurations can lead to lower operating costs and environmental impact than traditional aircraft. However, due to the lack of reference data of actual hybrid-electric aircraft, the design tools and results are difficult to validate. This paper analyzes...journal article 2022

Vos, J.V. (author), Vos, D.A. (author), Erkin, Z. (author)Cloud services are an essential part of our digital infrastructure as organizations outsource large amounts of data storage and computations. While organizations typically keep sensitive data in encrypted form at rest, they decrypt it when performing computations, leaving the cloud provider free to observe the data. Unfortunately, access to...conference paper 2022

de Vries, R. (author), Vos, Roelof (author)The goal of this study is to analyze how the aero-propulsive benefits of an over-the-wing distributed-propulsion (OTWDP) system at component level translate into an aero-propulsive benefit at aircraft level, and to determine whether this enhancement is sufficient to lead to a reduction in overall energy consumption. For this, the preliminary...conference paper 2022
