  1. 1. Conceptual design of the next generation gas turbines : Modelling of a hybrid electric mixed turbofan for a trainer aircraft

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Sophia Fisher; Michael Åkerström; [2023]
    Keywords : Hybrid propulsion; mixed turbofan; parallel configuration; performance;

    Abstract : To mitigate climate change, all sectors must contribute their part. Electric propulsion system is a promising approach to reduce emissions from the aviation industry. A major challenge is however the low energy density in today’s battery technology. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of electric actuation for fighter aircraft

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fluida och mekatroniska system

    Author : Dennis Moliner Pettersson; Anton Nygårds; [2023]
    Keywords : EMA; actuator; actuation; MEA; aircraft; PMSM; SHA;

    Abstract : The tendency of recent years towards electrification of aircraft components and subsys-tems has opened the door for a wider usability of electro-mechanical actuators (EMAs) inthat context. EMAs are already in use in aircraft industries but mainly in civil aviation forsecondary control systems and non-critical applications. READ MORE

  4. 3. Charging Infrastructure for Battery Electric Aircraft : A Simulation Study

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

    Author : Algot Laurell; [2023]
    Keywords : Battery Electric Aircraft; Charging Infrastructure; Electric Aircraft;

    Abstract : Several models of battery electric aircraft are currently under development and are expected to be commercialized in the coming years. These electric aircraft are expected to require a significant amount of electrical power within a short period of time. READ MORE

  5. 4. Electrical Propulsion System Design of a Blended Wing Body UAV

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Kevin Azad; Felix Fungula; [2022]
    Keywords : Aerospace; Aviation; Blended Wing Body; Electrical; Green Raven; Propeller; Propulsion; UAV;

    Abstract : The conventional tube-and-wing aircraft has been around since the 1950s, with little to no innovative progress being made towards redesigning the conventional aircraft. The blended wing body (BWB) shape fuses the wing of the aircraft with the fuselage increasing structural strength while also increasing potential surface area to create lift, making it more efficient than conventional wing shapes.

  6. 5. Investigations of the Transient Luminous Events with the small satellites, balloons and ground-based instruments

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Safura Mirzayeva; [2022]
    Keywords : TLE; sprite; jet; elve; halo; lightning; lighting detection; upper-atmospheric lightning; lightning location; nanosatellite; CubeSat;

    Abstract : The lightning is the natural source of electromagnetic radiation. It is an atmospheric electrical discharge.  However, since recent times, it was discovered that there are other types of lightning besides those that are visible to the naked eye. They are called TLEs (Transient Luminous Event) and take place above the clouds during thunderstorms. READ MORE
