Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:Students will get a deeper inside into the technology background and aviation requirements of disruptive means for novel propulsion systems to minimize the climate impact of civil aviation. The lecture will tackle air transport vehicles up to the size of a regional aircraft.
Contents:Air transport of the future will have to be more climate friendly. The lecture will give an introduction into the novel field of more or purely electrified aero engines for civil aircraft. The course will provide an holistic overview of different topics in this regard:
  • Motivation - why do we need novel propulsion systems, what technology solutions are focussed
  • Component technologies
    • Electric Machines
    • Power Electronics
    • Thermal Management (Heat Exchanger)
    • Fuel Cell Systems
    • Energy Storage Devices
  • Architecture of Electrified Aero Engines
  • Aircraft Integration of Electrified Aero Engines
  • Aeronautical Requirements
  • Environmental Impact
  • Control of Electrified Aero Engines
  • Test Facilities to Validate and Certificate Novel Aero Engines
