Electric/Hybrid-Electric Aircraft Propulsion Systems

Proceedings of the IEEE, 2021
The idea of electric propulsion for transportation is not new; indeed, the first cars, nearly 200 years ago, were electric. However, our dependence on fossil fuels over the last 100 years is now being questioned, and as a global society, we are moving toward more-electric transportation solutions.

Propulsion Integration for a Hybrid Propulsive-Lift System

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1974
<div class="htmlview paragraph">In a discussion of STOL vehicles with conventional high-lift devices, the need for efficient power-augmented lift systems is presented and the implications of quiet operation are noted. The underlying philosophy of a promising hybrid lift system with major interactions between aerodynamic, thermodynamic, acoustic ...

Hybrid Propulsion Unit

World of Transport and Transportation, 2016
The authors presented a conceptual idea of a high-speed mainline with a maximum speed of 400–450 km/h. The use of rotary engines requires more energy at high speeds, there are difficulties with current collection, wheel-rail adhesion, etc. At the same time, the use of a linear traction motor at low speeds is not justified from an economic point of view,

A Hybrid Power System Laboratory: Testing Electric and Hybrid Propulsion

IEEE Electrification Magazine, 2019
International shipping contributes to a major portion of global emissions. This is expected to grow at a faster pace due to economic and population growth. According to the Third Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Study 2014 of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the total shipping emissions during 2007-2012 were 3.1% of global CO2 emissions, 2.8% of ...

Hybrid-Electric Propulsion for Aircraft

Journal of Aircraft, 2015
Against a background of increasing energy demand and rising fuel prices, hybrid-electric propulsion systems have the potential to significantly reduce fuel consumption in the aviation industry, particularly in the lighter sectors. By taking advantage of both electric motor and internal combustion engine, hybrid-electric propulsion systems provide not ...
