Abstract
The Project “RS hybrid 1.0” funded by the LuFo Program of the German BMWi is being executed in order to develop and investigate a serial hybrid electric powertrain to be used in a light twin aircraft, that could be exclusively operated on two electric motors. The powertrain includes a generator system, that provides energy to all power sinks like propulsors, batteries and also covers the low voltage demand of the aircraft. In the frame of this project, all necessary components are developed including the electric propulsion units, the hybrid generator system, battery modules, and DC-Link and associated subsystems.Everything is assembled in an iron bird testbed to be able to run the powertrain in an isolated fashion, to screen for potential issues and to measure operational data. Furthermore, a comprehensive control logic for the overall system and safety management of the powertrain is being developed and tested.
