Research abstract
Hinetics is proposing a detailed study to evaluate the integration of a lightweight, high efficiency 150 kW generator-drive subsystem within the SUSAN concept aircraft. Subsystem and system level integration strategies required to maintain the stability and reliability across all operating conditions of the propulsion system and maximize the system level performance will be identified and verified with computer simulations. This will set the stage for hardware development for a sub-scale SUSAN demonstration within a potential Phase-II program, helping to increase the TRL of critical technologies for future low carbon aircraft.
