EcoPulse is a Distributed Hybrid-Electric Propulsion aircraft demonstrator jointly developed by Airbus, Daher and Safran. Based on Daher’s TBM light-aircraft platform, this project kick-started in 2019 with an announcement at Le Bourget, supported by CORAC* (the French Civil Aviation Research Council) and co-funded by the French Government and the EU. The objective is to advance technology “techno-bricks” which could contribute to the decarbonisation efforts of the aviation industry. In particular, the demonstrator will evaluate the advantages of distributed propulsion, onboard overall energy efficiency (fuel reduction) and high-voltage electrical propulsion and battery…
