Course detail: Aircraft Electrification: Architectures, Technologies, and Components
Description
Learning Objectives
Assess architectures, key components and technologies for aircraft electrification (hybrid-electric to full-electric) Identify solutions for electrified Propulsion, electrical energy sources, networks, and their integration Identify systems electrification technology bricks, performance, and benefits (power generation, distribution, EWIS, environmental control, actuation, and other loads) Assess aircraft configurations with batteries only (full-electric), or a combination (hybrid-electric) of one or more energy sources: batteries, fuel cells, turbogenerators, (hybrid) turbo(shaft/prop/fan) engines Analyze design configurations for incremental aircraft and newly-designed aircraft developments Analyze aircraft operations and emissions performance
Who Should Attend?
Aerospace engineers and managers interested in partial/total electrification of aircraft. Mechanical engineers interested in learning how to design and incorporate electrified portions into their systems. General knowledge in engineering and/or management (graduate to post-graduate) is recommended. Basic knowledge in mechanics & electricity will be helpful.

AERO0710 Course Information and Outline (PDF Document)
This course will strengthen students' understanding of aircraft electrification for fixed-wing and VTOL aircraft segments.
The stakes, challenges, and applications are addressed in detail. Various degrees of electrification are presented from the perspectives of principles, architectures, technologies, operations and performance.
Design and validation methodologies and means constitute an integral part of the course. Informed case studies also illustrate how design criteria specific to a given aircraft segment (VTOL, commuter, regional, short- and long-range) are implemented. Focus is made on integration aspects. Moreover, for segments considered, payload, range, energy efficiency, and emissions performance are compared with reference aircraft.
