Abstract
The objective of the EU-funded research project CHYLA (Credible HYbrid eLectric Aircraft) was to identify opportunities or limitations/challenges for the applications of key radical hybrid-electric technologies and areas suitable for scaling them over different aircraft classes. This was done using a ombination of conceptual aircraft design supported by sensitivity studies, credibility-based MDO and assessment of a regional operative scenario. This article summarizes the key findings from the project and presents the landscape of technology application areas. Notably, the regional and commuter classes present the largest design space with significant fuel-saving potential depending on the mission.
