“…Moreover, the highest travel time savings can be achieved for connections between major cities and between secondary metropolitan areas that are not well connected by rail or road (with a distance of 300 to 400 km between). A study by Schuh et al concluded that with the assumption that the ticket price range is similar to that of a German first-class train ticket, HEAs could operate profitably with a profit margin above 10% ( 23 ).…”

Introducing airplanes powered by renewable energy, such as electricity or hydrogen, is seen as one of the options to contribute to achieving climate neutrality in aviation, especially for regional and short-haul applications. It also brings new possibilities to connect small regional airports and reduce access and egress times to/from airports. This research aimed to gain insights into the acceptance and factors that may affect passenger acceptance of hybrid-electric airplanes for short-haul regional applications. In working toward the aims, a questionnaire was designed and distributed online to active long-distance travelers in Germany. Two structural equation models were estimated to identify the influential factors and their impacts on attitudes and the intention to accept hybrid-electric airplanes. The results confirmed not only the relevance of service attributes, such as travel time, safety, comfort, and climate impact, but also the impacts of psychological and behavioral factors. Generally, safety and security had the highest impact on passenger acceptance. Stronger concerns about the safety and comfort of the new airplanes and of conventional airplanes flying today might reduce the intention to use the new airplanes, whereas stronger climate concerns and trust of new mobility technology might lead to stronger acceptance. Moreover, passengers’ previous experience taking similar types of conventional propeller-driven airplanes might affect their safety concerns about the new airplanes. Information about new aircraft technology and test flying experience may help to overcome psychological barriers.

“…The all-electric configuration is a high-efficiency energy conversion system and is the only candidate that has the potential to achieve zero emissions [10]. All-electric aircraft are identified as a feasible and cost-competitive approach to reduce the environmental impacts of short-haul flights, including vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs) [11,12], commuter aircraft [13], rotorcraft [14,15], and general aviation airplanes. The key applications and studies to date are summarized in Table 1.…”

The civil aviation sector plays an increasingly significant role in transportation sustainability in the environmental, economic, and social dimensions. Driven by the concerns of sustainability in the aviation sector, more electrified aircraft propulsion technologies have emerged and form a very promising approach to future sustainable and decarbonized aviation. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive and broad-scope survey of the recent progress and development trends in sustainable aviation electrification. Firstly, the architectures of electrified aircraft propulsion are presented with a detailed analysis of the benefits, challenges, and studies/applications to date. Then, the challenges and technical barriers of electrified aircraft propulsion control system design are discussed, followed by a summary of the control methods frequently used in aircraft propulsion systems. Next, the mainstream energy management strategies are investigated and further utilized to minimize the block fuel burn, emissions, and economic cost. Finally, an overview of the development trends of aviation electrification is provided.
