The overall objective of the present research is to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of integrating a turbo-electric distributed propulsion (TEDiP) system for a 70-passenger ATR 72-500 aircraft with a nominal range of 1,500 km at a cruise speed of 510 km per hour. The goal is to significantly energy efficiency and reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
