Summary
T32 Initial design of vehicles with radical technologies M318In this WP initial design of radical aircraft with the novel technologies identified in T22 is considered A deterministic design approach will be used in this task using the mean values of the uncertain parameters identified in T22 The architecture of the energy network will be defined together with the power electric experts from TUBSIMAB The design will be performed by TUDFPP with the conceptual design tool Initiator to provide a feasible starting point for the credibilitybased MDO of T43 This will use the same software as for T31 however in this case a hybrid electric power train analysis is included in the constraint analysis and mission analysis This software has been developed and used in the past and will be extended to cover all radical technologies covered in CHYLA fuel cell alternative combustible fuels and enhancement of methods for electric drivesmotors Similarly as for T31 only converged nonoptimal designs are generated that should provide suitable starting points for the MDO Top level requirements will be the same as for the reference aircraftT33 Preliminary analysis of target technologies identification of limitations switching points and crosscheck with certification specifications M1518The initial designs from T32 will serve as a baseline for the identification of crossover points between technologies and as a basis for the assessment of the applicability of current regulations The assumptions that form the basis for these designs will be assessed in the MDO of T43 for their credibility resulting in a potential feedback for redesign of the starting point This preliminary assessment should support the MDO approach and identify focal areas for the final assessment of optimization results and will be performed by TUDFPP TUBSIFL and SOTON with consultancy from experts from all other involved institutes This task performs stage 2 of the scalability assessment Responsible TUD contribution TUBS and SOTON
