Abstract: Recently, the new Green Deal policy initiative was presented by the European Union. The EU aims to achieve a sustainable future and be the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. It targets all of the continent’s industries, meaning aviation must contribute to these changes as well. By employing a systems engineering approach, this high-level task can be split into different levels to get from the vision to the relevant system or product itself. Part of this iterative process involves the aircraft requirements, which make the goals more achievable on the system level and allow validation of whether the designed systems fulfill these requirements. Within this work, the top-level aircraft requirements (TLARs) for a hybrid-electric regional aircraft for up to 50 passengers are presented. Apart from performance requirements, other requirements, like environmental ones, Citation: Eisenhut, D.; Moebs, N.; are also included.

  • Government and British Civil Aerospace 1945-64.Pdf
    Journal of Aeronautical History Paper No. 2018/04 Government and British Civil Aerospace 1945-64 Professor Keith Hayward Preface This paper is something of a trip down an academic memory lane. My first book, published in the early 1980s, carried a similar title, albeit with a longer time span. While it had the irreplaceable benefit of some first hand memories of the period, the official record was closed. A later history of the UK aircraft industry did refer in part to such material dating from the 1940s, but access to the ‘secret’ historical material of the 1950s and beyond was still blocked by the then “Thirty Year” rule. By the time the restrictions were relaxed to a “Twenty Year” rule or even more by the liberality offered by “Freedom of Information” legislation, I had moved on to the more pressing demands of analysing the world aerospace industry for the SBAC. 1 My years at the Royal Aeronautical Society afforded a bit more scope. Discovery of an archive on the formation of the British Aircraft Corporation, and published by the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Journal of Aeronautical History 2, stimulated a hankering to open more musty files on the 1950s. This led to a series of articles published in the Aviation Historian. However much this satisfied an initial hankering to look back to a critical period in UK aerospace, there were gaps to be filled in the narrative and the analysis. With the encouragement of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Aeronautical History, I have endeavoured to provide a more coherent overview of government policy towards the civil sector.
