01 - Aircraft and Systems IntegrationDISTRIBUTED ELECTRIC PROPULSION FOR SMALL BUSINESS AIRCRAFT A CONCEPT-PLANE FOR KEY-TECHNOLOGIES INVESTIGATIONSJ. Hermetz¹, M. Ridel¹, C. Döll¹; ¹ONERA, The French Aerospace Lab, France Based on its expertise in all disciplines of aviation design, ONERA started exploratory studies, a few years ago, to investigate potential new technologies and concepts around electric propulsion integration for aircraft. Thus, starting from electrical distributed propulsion system concept, the ONERA’s engineers demonstrated the viability of an all electrical aircraft for a small business aircraft. |
