Abstract:
Electric vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft are considered a promising solution for fast and sustainable Urban Air Mobility (UAM), as they combine the advantages of vertical flight with the highly efficient flight of fixed-wing aircraft. However, the specific energies of today’s batteries still significantly limit the range and endurance of such vehicles. A more viable intermediate step towards sustainable UAM is represented by hybrid-electric aircraft. However, in the preliminary des...     »
