Objective
Worldwide, over 280.000 General Aviation (GA) aircrafts are in use (28.000 in Europe) and most aircraft in this engine-power
class (approx. 200 kW) are operated several hours per day in commercial services. The total operating costs are about 213
T€ per year. Combustion engines are designed for the maximum power needed for take-off and climbs (peak-loading),
though in cruise flight only approx. 65 % of the power is required. The overall objective of the HyPoGA innovation project is
to develop a superefficient, hybridized 200 kW aircraft engine by integration of a 140 kW combustion and a 60 kW electrical
engine which will allow a fuel reduction of about 30% and a total cost reduction of 27% ~ 48 T€. This engine will be certified as a
replacement unit according to EU and US aviation laws and regulations. The annual demand for replacement engines is
~3.000. The additional weight of the electrical components (electrical engine, batteries) is counter played by the weight
reduction of a smaller combustion engine and the fuel savings. The innovative power train will contribute significantly to
reduced costs of operations and a massive reduction of CO2 emission. Furthermore, the electrical engine constitutes a
back-up increasing the safety of aircraft operations (two engines instead of one). These aspects create a unique selling point
and competitive advantage for potential customers.
The objectives of the feasibility study are (i) a market research study and analysis (SWOT-Analysis), (ii) a technological
feasibility (e.g. final design definition) and (iii) an economic and financial feasibility (including marketing strategy, certification,
financial plan). The results will be elaborated in a business plan.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
