On-board SYstems Relevant for hYbridization of Regional aircraftS

Project description

Advanced technologies for future hybrid electric regional aircraft

To meet ACARE emission targets and support aircraft delivery growth, electric and hybrid propulsion is needed for larger aeroplanes. This will require advancements in power management technologies. The EU-funded OSYRYS project will develop and advance technologies for testing and demonstrating a prototype system in electrical power generation, distribution, thermal management, and avionics technologies for energy management for future Ultra-Efficient Hybrid Electric Regional Aircraft. This initiative aligns with EU goals, and builds on the EU-funded HECATE and TheMa4HERA projects. The OSYRYS consortium led by Safran Electrical & Power consists of 24 participants in 9 countries, including aircraft manufacturers ATR and AIRBUS, five SMEs, RTOs and industry leaders in aerospace systems.

Objective

The achievement of the ACARE emission reduction targets, in combination with the projected growth in new aircraft deliveries, requires the aviation industry to do a further step, by drastically shifting towards electric/hybrid-electric propulsion also for larger aircraft, thus resulting into high electrical power distribution levels. The latter introduce new challenges in terms of electrical power generation & distribution, thermal management and energy management technologies to safely manage on board electrical power at these MW power levels.
As a continuation of HECATE and TheMa4HERA projects, the OSYRYS consortium is uniquely positioned for the development and maturation of these technologies, targeting testing and integrated demonstration at TRL6 of electrical power generation & distribution solutions, thermal management solutions and avionics solutions for energy management relevant for future Ultra Efficient Hybrid Electric Regional Aircraft, in line with the objectives of REG-02 and the Clean Aviation SRIA.
The OSYRYS consortium unites 14 industries of which 2 aircraft OEMs (ATR and AIRBUS), 5 SMEs and the others, including the coordinator, are industry leaders on aerospace electrical power generation and distribution system, but also thermal and avionics systems. This is complemented by 6 RTO institutions. 4 organizations are newcomers of which 2 are newcomers to aeronautics, providing spin-in from other industries or research fields. The participants are spread over 7 European countries.
This ambitious 60-months programme, valued 55,5 MEuros for a grant request of 40 MEuros, will be implemented in tight relationship with REG-01, REG-03 and ACI-01 topics.
