Abstract:This paper presents the experimental results of a representative aircraft turboelectric powertrain. The 180-kW hybrid gas-electric ground test rig was designed, fabricated, and experimentally evaluated for safe integration. Hybrid turboelectric power systems enable future medium- to long-range electrified aircraft, offering higher energy density over current battery technologies. Previous studies have focused on analytical models of turboelectric systems. However, as industry stakeholders continue to advance t… Show more
