Clean Hybrid Powertrain for Aviation (CHyPA)

在过去的30年里，自然灾害不仅发生的频率有所增加，而且其严重性和复杂性也有所增加。现在，平均每年有2千多万人因这类事件而流离失所。救灾工作面临的主要挑战之一是向受灾地区运送援助物资。通常情况下，在地震之后，基础设施被破坏或被碎片堵塞。无人驾驶飞行器（uav）可以发挥重要作用，以直升机的一小部分成本向这些地区提供救援，并且风险显着降低。然而，它们目前在射程和有效载荷携带能力方面受到严重限制。该项目的目标是展示一种革命性的航空清洁混合动力系统（CHyPA），它将使中型有效载荷、远程、无排放的无人机成为可能。

Over the past 30 years, not only has the frequency of statistics-defying natural disasters increased, but also their severity and complexity. Now, on average, more than 20 million people are displaced annually by such events.One of the key challenges with any disaster relief effort is the delivery of aid to affected regions. Typically, in their aftermath, infrastructure is damaged or blocked by debris. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) could play a significant role in providing relief to these areas at a fraction of the cost of helicopters, and with significantly lower risks. However, they are currently severely restricted in their range and payload carrying capabilities.The objective of this project is to demonstrate a revolutionary Clean Hybrid Powertrain for Aviation (CHyPA) that will enable medium payload, long-range, UAVs that are emission free.
