Because of the limited energy density provided by batteries and requirements concerning reserves for operations under instrument flight rules (IFR), a range extender will be required to achieve commercially relevant ranges. In a serial hybrid concept with electric motors dr...
In exploring future trends, the paper considers the potential of fuel cell technologies, advanced energy storage systems, and the evolution of Power Electronics (PEs). The importance of academia-industry collaboration underscored, with examples provided to illustrate how such partnerships can accelerate ...
Whilst energy density is essential to the manufacturer's aircraft viability, the fundamental limitations of cells result in a power limited ESS during take-off and landing due to the required discharge rate at high and low State of Charge (SoC). A reasonable estimation suggests a ‘lift and pu...
Eventually, that plane and another flight-ready version will take shape in Moses Lake, with the first test flights planned for mid-2020. Eviation is aiming to win FAA certification for Alice by early 2022. Ganzarski has compared the potential impact of all-electric aviation to Tesla’s impact...
(Methods). Using time-of-flight spectrometry with an electrostatic diagnostic system in the thruster plume, mass-to-charge ratio spectra are measured (Fig.2a) and the beam composition is determined, as shown in Fig.2b. The dominant ion species are I2+and I+, and their relative fractions ...
24.37, both hybrid and all electric topologies require battery to be part of the propulsion system. The turboelectric configurations, on the other hand, do not rely on batteries for propulsion during any phase of flight. This makes the turboelectric more attractive since batteries with enough power...

The data on the available power and the relative efficiency for a number of multicopter models are ...
There are ongoing discussions with airlines around the world, he adds, and the plane will likely attract the interest of regional and commuter airlines. According to de Vries, it could also benefit secondary airfields that are currently underserved because of noise or emissions limitations, or beca...
