Energy-efficient Electric Jump Take-Off

过去十年见证了来自全球资本市场的大规模资金，以寻求为新兴的高级空中移动领域生产商业上可行的、可认证的解决方案。目前，所有这些举措都没有产生任何商业上可行的概念，这些概念是社会可以接受的，并能够获得航空航天管理机构的认证地位。随着EASA于2022年年中发布SC.VTOL认证标准，该项目变得更加复杂。项目3E-JTO寻求带来一个商业和社会可行的概念，将满足已公布的可认证标准。通过专注于为旋翼机或复合旋翼机的全跨距旋翼提供电力以实现跳跃起飞(JTO)，这些飞机可以携带比多旋翼飞机高一倍的有效载荷/航程，而功率仅为其一小部分。JTO将允许飞机垂直起飞，但取消悬停能力。项目3E-JTO将专注于使用电池为全跨距转子供电的电力系统的集成和测试，需要一个小电池组、逆变器和低转速高扭矩电机。这些将是现成的组件，用于在测试台上测试系统。即使与其他电子解决方案相比，该项目也将在成本、社会和环境方面带来多重好处。例如，与传统推进系统相比，运营成本降低了50%，更低的功率带来了更小的碳足迹，更小的电池，更大的飞机与当前的垂直起降解决方案，以及由于支持合理的飞机解决方案的技术而改善了连接性。

The last decade has witnessed large-scale funding from global capital markets into the quest to produce commercially viable, certifiable solutions for the emerging Advanced Air Mobility domain. At present none of these initiatives has produced any commercially viable concepts that are socially acceptable and able to attain certification status from aerospace regulatory bodies. Having become even more complex with the publication of the SC.VTOL certification standard by EASA in mid-2022\.Project 3E-JTO seeks to bring a commercially and socially viable concept that will meet published certifiable standards. By focusing on electrically powering a full-span rotor of a gyrocopter or compound gyrocopter to achieve jump take-off (JTO), these aircraft can carry double the payload/range over multirotor aircraft at only a fraction of the power. JTO will allow the aircraft to take-off vertically but removes the ability to hover.Project 3E-JTO will focus on the integration and testing of the electrical power system using batteries to power a full-span rotor, requiring a small battery pack, inverter and low rpm high torque electric motor. These will be off-the-shelf components used to test the system on a test rig.The project will bring multiple benefits in cost, societal and environmental even when compared to other electric solutions. Such as 50% operating costs compared to conventional propulsion systems, a smaller carbon footprint due to lower power, a smaller battery, and larger aircraft to current VTOL solutions and improved connectivity due to the technology enabling a sensible aircraft solution.
