EcoPulse, the wing-mounted, hybrid-electric distributed propulsion aircraft demonstrator jointly developed by Daher, Safran, and Airbus, has made its much-anticipated debut at the 2023 Paris Air Show. This revolutionary aircraft, based on Daher’s TBM 900-series airplanes, represents a significant step forward in the quest for aviation decarbonization and operational efficiency. The primary objective of the EcoPulse project is to evaluate the numerous benefits of integrating hybrid-electric distributed propulsion, with a particular emphasis on reducing CO2 emissions and minimizing noise levels. By adopting this disruptive propulsion architecture, the aircraft can rely on a single, independent electrical power source to supply multiple engines … Continue reading Airbus’s EcoPulse Aircraft Powered by Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Unveiled at Paris Air Show
