Garcia Gonzalez, Pedro (author)
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) systems for aviation applications have been considered for their use as APUs or powertrains, as standalone systems or in combination with gas turbines, and both fueled by reformed Jet-A or by hydrogen. Most existing studies focus on powertrain performance modelling. In this work, traditional tube-and-wing regional...

The world is faced with two concurrent trends. The first is the growing demand for air travel in the long term. The second is the need to cut aircraft emissions due to environmental goals and ambitions set by authorities. Fully-electric aircraft are currently infeasible due to the limited battery specific energy and power. Hybrid-electric...

Air transport is facing an important challenge when it comes to the reduction of its environmental footprint. Hybrid electric aircraft offer a potential solution to reduce in-flight emissions. The essence of hybrid electric aircraft is to combine multiple energy sources and energy conversion systems, in order to improve the overall energy...

In the present study, a Model Predictive Control (MPC) - based, Energy Management Strategy (EMS) is proposed, aiming at the minimisation of the fuel consumption of vessels with hybrid propulsion and power supply. This approach is capable of utilising online information regarding realistic future predictions of the propulsive power demand,...

In the Clean Sky 2 Large Passenger Aircraft (LPA) program the potential of innovative hybrid electric propulsion (HEP) air vehicle concepts has been investigated by the projects ADEC (Advanced Engine and Aircraft Configuration) and NOVAIR (Novel Aircraft Configurations and Scaled Flight Testing Instrumentation). In a combined effort the members...

Hybrid electric propulsion is a promising new technology to reduce emissions and fuel consumption of an aircraft. In this study a parallel hybrid electric configuration is considered. Since electric motors supply power in the most demanding take-off and climb phases to achieve the required thrust, the turbofan can be redesigned.<br/><br/>It was...

The aviation sector and its associated activities contribute to climate change, damage to the environment, community noise, and local air pollution. As a consequence it affects the health and quality of life of citizens that live close to airports, and through climate change every person on earth. To reduce the impact of air travel and thereby...

Zamboni, Jacopo (author)
As the aviation sector keeps expanding, a growing interest in technologies that can reduce the dependency from non-renewable energy sources, both for economic and environmental reasons, has led researchers to investigate the opportunities offered by the electrification of flight. It is theorized that the use of electrically powered machines as...

Over the last 50 years, the global airline industry has seen resilient growth in the demand for passenger travel; this trend is expected to continue in the coming decades. With kerosene being the predominant source used as jet fuel, this increase in air traffic is expected to result in the depletion of non-renewable fossil fuels and undesired...
