General Aviation Hybrid propulsion: comparison of technologies and 2020-2030 challenges

The deliverable will focus only on aviation propulsion starting from what is under development as of today namely Pipistrel airplanes and their powerplant configurations the research and innovation results gained with H3PS project will be compared in all involved aspects and mission profiles including but not limited toiVery short flight 1hr powerplant efficiencyiiShort flight overall efficiency and scalability level with real and measurable resultsiiiMedium and Long General Aviation flights 15hr 45hr overall powerplant efficiency fuel consumption and emergency management criteriaConclusions with discussion on fuel cells and how they can be integrated with parallel and series hybrid configurations once they will be available to aircraft operators and industry TECNAM
