...% improvement in range capability for the VRS tilt-rotor relative to its conventional counterpart. For the hybrid-electric tilt-rotor, combined optimization of VRS and power management leads to an increase in range to 18.4% at 40% and 25% reduced payload for current (250 Wh/kg) and future (450 Wh/kg) battery...

... HX on mission NO X emissions relative to the conventional tilt-rotor ( Δ NO X ) for 40, 60, and 80% ϵ HX . Designing the recuperated hybrid-electric powerplant at the MCR limit results in increased NO X for all the heat exchangers considered...

... experimental or flight test data. The methodology is deployed for the assessment of a hybrid-electric tilt-rotor, modeled after the NASA XV-15. This work targets to provide new insight into the preliminary design and sizing of optimally designed HEPSs for novel tilt-rotor aircraft. The paper demonstrates...
