Mission Performance Analysis of Hybrid-Electric Regional Aircraft

Giuseppe Palaia, +1 more
- 02 Mar 2023 - 
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors discussed the mission performance of regional aircraft with hybrid-electric propulsion and provided performance analyses by mission simulations tools specifically developed for hybridelectric aircraft flight dynamics, which can lead to benefits in terms of environmental performance, through savings in direct fuel consumption, or alternatively in operating terms, through a significant extension of the operating envelope.

A Review of Morphing Aircraft

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors classify the shape morphing parameters that can be affected by planform alteration (span, sweep, and chord), out-of-plane transformation (twist, dihedral/gull, and span-wise bending), and airfoil adjustment (camber and thickness).
