Concept Introduction: 70 PAX Plug-In Hybrid-Electric Aircraft (D70-PHEA)

Kurzfassung

The presentation is a part of the Mid-Term Review of the internal DLR project EXACT. The mid term review was organized as a public event for an international audience. The document describes the overall aircraft design results of a 70-seater plug-in hybrid-electric aircraft, featuring fully battery-electric flight capability, a gas turbine driving a generator that can be used as a range extender, and eight electric propellers distributed along the wing span. As all aircraft designes for EXACT, the assumed entry into service is 2040.
