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 […]
A new paper published in Applied Sciences (MDPI): “A Parametric Approach for Conceptual Integration and Performance Studies of Liquid Hydrogen Short–Medium Range Aircraft” (Open Access)
The present paper deals with the investigation, at conceptual level, of the performance of short–medium-range aircraft with hydrogen propulsion. The attention is focused on the relationship between figures of merit related to transport capability, such as passenger capacity and flight range, and the parameters which drive the design of liquid hydrogen tanks and their integration […]
The book “Aviation Noise Impact Management” is now online
Last year, several research teams involved in more than 50 EU funded projects all over Europe have been invited to contribute to a book called “Aviation Noise Impact Management”. The book, edited by Laurent Leylekian (ONERA), Alexandra Covrig (Airport Regions Council) and Alena Maximova (Airport Regions Council) and published by Springer, is now online and […]
