The integration of hybrid and electric aircraft in the air traffic management system: A case study on hybrid and electric aircraft in Dutch TWR and APP operations

This research is about the integration of hybrid and electric aircraft (HEA) in the air<br/>traffic management system. Current conventional aircraft are responsible for emissions and noise that often lead to nuisance for residents. In order to make aviation more sustainable, aircraft manufacturers are studying the possibilities to replace fuel...

Mission Performance Assessment of a Box-Wing Aircraft: A Multiphase Optimal Control Approach Including Exploration of Unconventional Control

It is the aim of this research to assess the mission performance of a boxwing aircraft by developing a configurationagnostic, multifidelity optimal control toolbox for performance and mission analysis. The boxwing aircraft, sometimes named a PrandtlPlane (PrP), is an unconventional aircraft. An instance with redundant controls is designed within...
