Abstract

Electric Training Aircraft in Colombia: A Review of Design, Manufacture and Feasibility

Highlights

  • Researches published by M.I.T1 in the Environmental Research Letters2 [1] of IOP Publishing, say that commercial aviation produces 5% of the world environmental impact with the Jet-Fuel consumption [2,3], Figure 1 and Figure 2

  • A two-seater electric training aircraft is the best option to get ahead in the uses of these electricity technologies, so at present, the batteries and electric motors can work by 90 minutes, which time is sufficient for an air training class (Figure 5) [22]

  • Colombia has advanced on the manned and unmanned aircraft manufacturing with manufacture plants that have allowed, together with public and private programs as the PEDSAA, PEICA and Foro Plan Estratégico Aeronáutico 2018-2030 [24], the manufacturing of certified prototypes with a technological aeronautic pack designed, implemented and integrated under the triad: Academy-Industry-Government, such the Calima T-90 program by Colombian Air Force (FAC) and Corporation of the Colombian Aeronautical Industry (CIAC) [25]

Summary

Introduction

Researches published by M.I.T1 in the Environmental Research Letters2 [1] of IOP Publishing, say that commercial aviation produces 5% of the world environmental impact with the Jet-Fuel consumption [2,3], Figure 1 and Figure 2. Colombia cannot be opposed to the world advances and innovation challenges, even more, when it can get great benefits in aeronautical applications For this goal, a two-seater electric training aircraft is the best option to get ahead in the uses of these electricity technologies, so at present, the batteries and electric motors can work by 90 minutes, which time is sufficient for an air training class (Figure 5) [22]. Colombia has advanced on the manned and unmanned aircraft manufacturing with manufacture plants that have allowed, together with public and private programs as the PEDSAA , PEICA and Foro Plan Estratégico Aeronáutico 2018-2030 [24], the manufacturing of certified prototypes with a technological aeronautic pack designed, implemented and integrated under the triad: Academy-Industry-Government, such the Calima T-90 program by Colombian Air Force (FAC) and Corporation of the Colombian Aeronautical Industry (CIAC) [25] These developments have reinforced the aeronautical infrastructure with national and international impacts, establishing opportunities and stimulating the technical, human, economic and intellectual skills. About these recommendations and the whole investigation, the authors registered in the conclusions section the most important info to help understand why this review research is important for national and global interests [23]
