HEART (Hydrogen- Electric and Automated Regional Transportation) is a programme that will demonstrate a viable regional transport network that is zero carbon, affordable, scalable and safe. It is aimed at sub-regional aviation (typically using 9-19 passenger aircraft, with circa 100 licensed airfields around the UK) with an objective to enable a commercially viable, innovative and eco-friendly network that provides a passenger experience giving door-to-door travel options, improved convenience, flexibility and travel information along with visibility of carbon footprint. The HEART programme will address the following key areas: * Aircraft with hydrogen fuel cell and electric powertrains in order to significantly reduce cost of operations and help improve operational reliability, along with developing a skilled workforce to operate and maintain the infrastructure and aircraft.* Implementation of green hydrogen infrastructure (production storage and refuelling) with consideration of transport and distribution solutions.* Use of configurable aircraft flight control automation, including pilot assistance pilot during high workload; enabling higher operational safety and scalability.* Use of hybrid connectivity solutions to assist in datalink operation, mission critical communication, as well as enabling in-cabin passenger services.* The design of new, low-cost, modular and scalable airport terminal technology concepts. These will be brought to life through simulation, modelling and technical demonstrations through the use of Virtual Reality, to demonstrate enhanced passenger experience.* Usage of autonomous airside ground systems to facilitate rapid aircraft turn-around times, including automated baggage and cargo loading/unloading and refuelling operations, increasing operational safety, reducing operating costs and enabling scale-up of operations.* Integration of the HEART network with other transportation modes through use of mobility-as-a-services solutions that support door-to-door journey views with new and legacy transport modes. Dynamic in-journey updates to simplify and smooth the travel experience. * Understanding and addressing societal concerns such as safety of hydrogen-electric powertrains, dependence on new levels of automation and technologies. * Understanding wider considerations for passengers with reduced mobility or other concerns, with particular focus on accessibility (and egress) of regional network type aircraft without “airbridge” connectivity.The HEART programme will create compound demonstrations that showcase the vision of a 'Day-in-the-life' of a deployed network through a range of events, including • flight trials utilising aircraft with hydrogen-electric powertrain;• configurable autonomous flight control solutions, via UAS and a regional aircraft trial, including pilot support systems and key safety technologies;• Immersive VR experience of the overall traveller journey, including through new design of airport terminal;• Digital Twin/Simulations of operating services, including autonomous baggage/cargo handling;• Demonstration of accessibility approaches for passengers of reduced mobility.These will be supported with other demonstration facets, such as wider simulation and analysis, that show various detail assessments in support of the overall viability of the operational considerations. Finally, individual elements of the journey HEART will be reported through various media and engagement methods. The overall story of Project HEART will also be captured and reported in hardcopy form that will facilitate a longer-term legacy, engagement and exploitation of the range of achievements accomplished by the consortium partners.

HEART（氢-电和自动化区域运输）是一个方案，将展示一个可行的区域运输网络，该网络是零碳，负担得起，可扩展和安全的。它的目标是次区域航空（通常使用9-19架客机，英国各地约有100个许可机场），目的是实现商业上可行的，创新的和生态友好的网络，提供乘客体验，提供门到门的旅行选择，改善便利性，灵活性和旅行信息沿着以及碳足迹的可见性。HEART计划将解决以下关键领域：* 采用氢燃料电池和电动动力系统的飞机，以显著降低运营成本，并帮助提高运营可靠性，沿着培养熟练的劳动力来操作和维护基础设施和飞机。实施绿色氢基础设施（生产、储存和加油），同时考虑运输和分配解决方案。使用可配置的飞机飞行控制自动化，包括在高工作负荷期间为飞行员提供辅助;实现更高的操作安全性和可扩展性。*使用混合连接解决方案来协助数据链路操作、使命关键通信以及实现客舱内乘客服务。*设计新的、低成本、模块化和可扩展的机场航站楼技术概念。这些将通过使用虚拟现实的模拟，建模和技术演示来实现，以展示增强的乘客体验。使用自动化的机场禁区地面系统，以加快飞机周转时间，包括自动化的行李和货物装卸和加油操作，提高运营安全性，降低运营成本，并扩大运营规模。通过使用移动即服务解决方案，将HEART网络与其他交通模式集成，该解决方案支持新的和传统的交通模式的门到门旅程视图。动态的旅程更新，以简化和顺利的旅行体验。* 理解和解决社会问题，如氢动力系统的安全性，对新水平的自动化和技术的依赖。* 了解对行动不便或其他问题的乘客的更广泛考虑，特别关注无障碍环境HEART计划将通过一系列活动创建复合演示，展示部署网络的“日常生活”愿景，包括使用氢电动力系统飞机的飞行试验;·可配置的自主飞行控制解决方案，通过无人机系统和区域飞机试验，包括飞行员支持系统和关键安全技术;·整个旅行者旅程的沉浸式VR体验，包括通过新设计的机场航站楼;·数字孪生/模拟运营服务，包括自动行李/货物处理;·为行动不便的乘客演示无障碍方法。这些方法将得到其他演示方面的支持，例如更广泛的模拟和分析，显示各种详细评估，以支持运营考虑的整体可行性。最后，将通过各种媒体和参与方法报告HEART旅程的各个要素。还将以硬拷贝的形式记录和报告HEART项目的总体情况，这将有助于长期传承、参与和利用联合体伙伴取得的一系列成就。
