Mass, primary energy, and cost: the impact of optimization objectives on the initial sizing of hybrid-electric general aviation aircraft
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "CEAS Aeronautical Journal"
DOI: 10.1007/s13272-020-00449-8
Abstract: For short take-off and landing (STOL) aircraft, a parallel hybrid-electric propulsion system potentially offers superior performance compared to a conventional propulsion system, because the short-take-off power requirement is much higher than the cruise power requirement.… read more here.

DOI: 10.2514/1.c038417
Abstract: Wind-tunnel and flight experiments were performed on a general-aviation 6.1:1 scale model, where pulse-modulated dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators were used to control wing stall. Plasma actuation on the unpowered model produced modest increases… read more here.

DOI: 10.3357/amhp.5509.2020
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Spatial disorientation, poor situational awareness, and aerodynamic stalls are often causal/contributory to general aviation accidents. To mitigate against the occurrence of these mishaps Cirrus Aircraft has, since 2002, introduced advanced avionics into their piston… read more here.
