Thessaloniki, Greece, December 2nd

We are happy to announce that the final project meeting will be held in-person, at the premises of our Technical Advisory Board member, BETA CAE Systems SA (https://www.beta-cae.com/).

We will be presenting the overall work done, leading to the final conceptual designs of HECARRUS, a hybrid-electric commuter aircraft targeting for near zero emissions.

The discussion will be based on the following technical research and innovation items:

-Gas turbine framework;

-Electrical Power System;

-Thermal Management System;

-Aircraft sizing & Mission analysis;

-Full design loop integration;

-Life Cycle Analysis & Economics;

-Higher fidelity studies on aerodynamics and structural analysis.
