Scalability Assessment of Hybrid-Electric Technology Application to Various Aircraft Classes - an Overview of Opportunities and Challenges

The objective of the EU-funded research project CHYLA (Credible HYbrid eLectric Aircraft) was to identify opportunities or limitations/challenges for the applications of key radical hybrid-electric technologies and areas suitable for scaling them over different aircraft classes. This was done using a ombination of conceptual aircraft design...

Scalability analysis of radical technologies to various aircraft class: Part 1: initial designs

Various research initiatives in hybrid-electric/sustainable aviation typically address only a single vehicle or single vehicle class. However, novel propulsion and energy solutions can be expected to be differently applied in different vehicle classes. The objective of the EU funded research project CHYLA (Credible HYbrid eLectric Aircraft) is...

Scalability analysis of radical technologies to various aircraft class: Part 2: Sensitivity Analysis

This study aims at providing a landscape of opportunities and limitations for hybrid-electric aircraft (HEA) and hydrogen-powered aircraft by investigating several technological combinations applied to three aircraft classes: Regional (REG), Short-Medium Range (SMR) and Large Passenger Aircraft (LPA). The preliminary sizing of HEA using...
