Hybrid electric propulsion has the potential to bring disruptive gains in overall aircraft energy efficiency related emissions. Furthermore, alternative energy carriers such as batteries and H2 have their own limitations related to energy density on board storage respectively, before they are adopted as new means of powering aviation. This lecture focuses on recent Research Innovation activities on the hybridisation on commuter aircraft to:

Identify merits of hybridisation in regional air mobility and explore the future of Gas Turbine propulsion in the foreseeable future
Identify the scientific and technical challenges of deploying new propulsive architectures
Exploit the knowledge gained to upscale technologies in larger aircraft
Develop and integrate the conceptual design of a near zero emission commuter aircraft, based on hybrid electric propulsion configurations
