01 - Aircraft Design and Integrated SystemsCONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF SILENT ELECTRIC COMMUTER AIRCRAFTP. Wassink¹, G. Atanasov¹, C. Hesse¹, B. Froehler¹; ¹German Aerospace Center (DLR), Germany The goal of this paper is to propose and quantitatively assess two fixed wing aircraft concepts with fully electric flight capability and the design focus on reducing take-off and landing noise. The motivation for these concepts is that reducing noise footprint and emissions near airports could be an enabler for commuter aircraft operation near highly populated areas. |
