The AIAA New England Section is organizing an expert webinar session . Come and listen to Dr Sunil Patil on the research and innovation aspects of hybrid electric propulsion systems, designing futuristic aircrafts, the technology and the fun involved.
Fully electric systems such as Urban Air Mobility, and Hybrid-Electric propulsion present a great potential for Aviation sector's net-zero target. Electrification provides many opportunities with different trade-offs between range, fuel consumption, battery capacity, and thermal management. To explore the best potential of aviation electrification while ensuring safety requires a model-based product development approach. This webinar will provide market trends and technological advances for hybrid/electric aircrafts. Model-Based System Engineering approach to develop system architecture, and integrated safety analysis to accelerate certification efforts will be covered. Use of system modeling and simulation to explore various electrification concepts to come up with optimum system sizing and configuration will be explained with a representative regional aircraft model.
