Abstract

Recent advances in aircraft propulsion technology are progressing towards great designs and electrical propulsion that are completely electronic. Over the past 20 years, many primary power and drive systems technologies have developed to the degree that functionality and energy density have become appropriate for missions in the aerospace industry and secure applications. The reliability and efficiency of electric motors and drive electronics became feasible; while forecasts on the development of energy density for battery storage triggered industry-wide interest in electrical propulsion systems in aerospace. However, studies of currently obtainable electrical technology, due to excessive battery weight, inevitably infer a deficit compared with conventional thermal engine propulsion for larger capacity transport missions. There are already some types and missions of aircraft today that support electrical propulsion but the cap is around two person-hours of flight time. This paper shows how this same cap benefits the task of sky diving under standard commercial conditions, and offers an example of a brand innovative type of aircraft.
