Box-wing architecture and hybrid-electric propulsion for regional aircraft: paper presented at EUCASS-3AF 2022 Conference (Lille, FR) available on-line
Performance analysis and operating potential of a hybrid-electric regional aircraft with box-wing lifting architecture Abstract: The payload-range diagram of a regional hybrid-electric box-wing aircraft is discussed in this paper. The operational characteristics of a hybrid-electric aircraft differ from those of an aircraft with traditional thermal propulsion. The shape of the payload-range diagram of the hybrid-electric […]
M.Sc. Thesis concluded: “Aeroelastic study of aircraft with box-wing architecture using a medium-low fidelity code”
After a 6 months internship at XSun (France), the student Andri Dine has concluded a M.Sc. thesis aimed at evaluating the capabilities of a low fidelity aeroelastic tool in defining the aero-structrual behaviour of box-wing aircraft since the early stages of the design. Reference: Dine, A., “Studio aeroelastico di velivoli con architettura box-wing mediante un […]
Internship and thesis opportunity at AURA AERO company (Toulouse, France)
In the development of electric A/C, the integration of systems and batteries imply new challenges in the fields of Loads and Flutter assessment. The main activities are focused on loads and flutter assessment of electric A/C. The objective of the internship is to contribute to the development of a toolbox for computational aeroelasticity in an […]
