EATS-01: Rolling Recap on Aircraft Electrified Propulsion and Power/NASA Urban Air Grand Challenge
The Rolling Recap session’s objective is to disseminate information in the rapidly emerging and exciting area of Aircraft Electrified Propulsion and Power technology to forum attendees. The session presents a summary of papers/panel sessions from previous AIAA conferences on electric aircraft and propulsion, and keeps the community informed. The session also presents an opportunity to discuss relevant technology developments and activities in the industry.
Starr Ginn will discuss the NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate’s (ARMD) plans to host a series of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) “Grand Challenges.” The Grand Challenge (GC) series is designed to promote public confidence in UAM safety, facilitate community-wide learning while capturing the public’s imagination, and give prospective manufacturers and operators insights into the evolving regulatory and operational environment. The Grand Challenge series will focus on Vehicle performance, safety assurance, airspace interoperability, readiness for civil use, and noise.

A Control Systems Perspective of Electrical Aircraft Propulsion: Vision and Challenges
The integration of turbine engines and electric machines into a hybrid electric-gas turbine engine systems presents new opportunities to improve the design, operability, and performance of aircraft propulsion systems. To achieve these benefits, a number of unique challenges for aircraft and engine manufacturers must be overcome. This session brings together controls experts from NASA, and industry address the following goals:
1. Communicate a vision for how the development of controls technologies can enable new hybrid propulsion and power systems that meet NASA’s strategic vision for electrified aircraft propulsion.
2. Identify gaps in controls technology that present roadblocks to commercialization of those systems as a basis for motivating future research investment.
