Presentation

Evaluation of technology gravimetric indexes for zero-emission regional flight

The regional market segment is considered to be a key entry point for zero-emission flight. In this session, Manrique will present a methodology based on a mission flight analysis able to evaluate the requirements in terms of power-to-weight and energy-to-weight gravimetric indexes for battery-electric and hydrogen electric propulsion architectures. Results will include a retrofit of a conventional tube-and-wing regional aircraft, in which turboprops are replaced with a novel powertrain and its relative energy carrier to simulate a design, and typical missions including the alternate destination and loiter phases.
