Abstract

This paper presents an overall performance assessment of hybrid-electric medium-range transport aircraft, with the aim to evaluate the potential of such a propulsion technology towards the reduction in the environmental impact of aviation transport, in terms of both local air quality degradation in airport areas and climate change. The proposed approach presents distinct analyses of the environmental impact of transport aircraft, distinguishing climate-changing effects from local pollution effects so that the integration of hybrid-electric propulsion is carried out to face the two issues specifically. The proposed analysis, although of conceptual nature, presents a clear scenario in which, given the technological limitations of batteries, the use of hybrid-electric propulsion on medium-haul aircraft can only be useful to reduce local pollution. In contrast, other solutions are needed to mitigate the climate-changing impact.
