    A BATTERY ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT FEASIBILITY INVESTIGATION INCLUDING A BATTERY-IN-WING CONCEPTUAL DESIGN A Thesis presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering by Mark H. Shushnar June 2014 © 2014 Mark H. Shushnar ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: A Battery Electric Aircraft Feasibility Investigation Including a Battery-in-Wing Conceptual Design AUTHOR: Mark H. Shushnar DATE SUBMITTED: June 2014 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Dr. Joseph Mello, PhD Professor of Mechanical Engineering COMMITTEE MEMBER: Dr. Patrick Lemieux, PhD Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering COMMITTEE MEMBER: Dr. Kurt Colvin, PhD Professor of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering iii ABSTRACT A Battery Electric Aircraft Feasibility Investigation Including a Battery-In-Wing Conceptual Design Mark H. Shushnar The feasibility of converting an existing internal combustion powered general aviation aircraft to battery electric propulsion was studied. The theoretical performance of various types of airframes with battery electric propulsion systems was compared to determine which type of airframe would be best suited for conversion. It was found that battery electric propulsion is best used in aircraft intended for slow speed, efficient flight and carrying limited payload which is a mission typically flown in motor gliders. A reference motor glider was selected and a conceptual power system packaging design study was performed. The study determined that a critical component of the power system packaging design was the technical feasibility of packaging the batteries inside of the wing structure. This was driven by center of gravity restrictions. Technical concerns related to a battery-in-wing design were investigated, included wing aeroelastic performance, wing stiffness and wing strength.

  • Indigo and Air India-- on Wednesday Announced
    1 Revue de presse février 2020 The only two Indian carriers that fly to China -- IndiGo and Air India-- on Wednesday announced suspension of most of their flights to that country, while India has requested China for permission to operate two flights to bring back its nationals from Hubei province which has been sealed after the deadly coronavirus outbreak. A fresh travel advisory asking people to refrain from travelling to China has been issued by the Union government which has ramped up screening across airports, ports and borders, as the virus spread to at least 17 countries. No case of the novel coronavirus has been detected in India, though hundreds of people remain under observation in many states including as many as 806 in Kerala, according to officials. With several airlines based in Asia, North America and Europe restricting operations to the region, the Indian carriers too followed suit. The country's largest airline IndiGo said it has suspended its flights on Bengaluru-Hong Kong route from February 1 and on the Delhi-Chengdu route from February 1 to 20. Similarly, state-run Air India is suspending its flights on Delhi-Shanghai route from January 31 to February 14 and reducing the frequency on Delhi-Hong Kong route to thrice-weekly only in the same time period. IndiGo will, for now, continue to operate the Kolkata-Guangzhou flight which it is "monitoring on a daily basis". The crew of the two airlines working on flights connecting India with South East Asian countries have been asked to wear N95 masks on ground and take other precautions like not visiting public places.

  • Pipistrel ALPHA Trainer Flight Review.Docx
    Pipistrel ALPHA Trainer Flight Review April 27, 2012. Slovenia, Europe Evaluation by Michael Coates Pipistrel are of the most prolific light aircraft manufacturers in the world, located in Slovenia which is surrounded by the borders of Austria and Italy this small country manufactures some of the most unique and advanced aircraft in the world. After attending Aero Friedrichshafen I had the opportunity to travel back to the Pipistrel factory and evaluate their very latest LSA release the new Pipistrel ALPHA Trainer. The Pipistrel ALPHA Trainer has taken a back seat in the last few months to the much talked about and exceptionally received Pipistrel Panthera which stole the show at Aero Friedrichshafen winning all the major awards. This new four seat aircraft which cruises at 200 knots is certainly a showstopper but well beyond the budget of the average light aircraft owner. Roll in and introduce the Pipistrel ALPHA Trainer! This new aircraft from Pipistrel was originally developed exclusively for the training market. Pipistrel identified the need for a fully equipped aircraft that is tailored to flying schools, full of instrumentation, strong, reliable and most importantly delivered to the customer at a very favourable price. The Cessna 162, the Tecnam and many other LSA aircraft are now up well above $150,000 which is becoming too expensive for the average flying school that cannot repay or finance this sort of investment. The goal for the Pipistrel ALPHA Trainer was to provide a fully featured and perfectly behaved aircraft but at a selling price less than two thirds the competition and I am happy to say that Pipistrel has done this! The Pipistrel ALPHA Trainer is fitted with the ever reliable Rotax 912 - 80 horsepower engine, the airframe is a composite, two-seat, side by side, high wing with exceptional performance even when fitted with the Rotax 80 horsepower engine, like all Pipistrel aircraft the ALPHA demonstrates very frugal fuel consumption averaging 13 lph (3.4 US gph) at cruise and only 8 lph (2.1 US gph) in circuits.

    NASA Green Flight Challenge: Conceptual Design Approaches and Technologies to Enable 200 Passenger Miles per Gallon Douglas P. Wells* NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia 23681 The Green Flight Challenge is one of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Centennial Challenges designed to push technology and make passenger aircraft more efficient. Airliners currently average around 50 passenger-miles per gallon and this competition will push teams to greater than 200 passenger-miles per gallon. The aircraft must also fly at least 100 miles per hour for 200 miles. The total prize money for this competition is $1.65 Million. The Green Flight Challenge will be run by the Comparative Aircraft Flight Efficiency (CAFE) Foundation September 25 – October 1, 2011 at Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport in California. Thirteen custom aircraft were developed with electric, bio-diesel, and other bio-fuel engines. The aircraft are using various technologies to improve aerodynamic, propulsion, and structural efficiency. This paper will explore the feasibility of the rule set, competitor vehicles, design approaches, and technologies used.
