Abstract

The Hybrid Electric Regional Aircraft Distribution Technologies (HECATE) Clean Aviation project will mature and develop breakthrough technologies and perform scalability and impact analysis to ensure safe and power-dense technologies that will enable Entry Into Service (EIS) of hybrid-electric regional aircraft by 2035. Along the project, a circular economy approach in future aircraft will be ensured through the use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), performing this type of assessment on the overall electrical system and primary/secondary distribution and conversion technologies, helping to be in line with long-term environmental roadmaps such as Flightpath 2050. This communication includes a description of the HECATE activities and how LCA will be applied to the future Regional Aircraft Electrical Distribution System.
