HERA (Hybrid-Electric Regional Architecture)

赫拉将确定和权衡支线飞机的概念及其关键架构，开发必要的飞机级技术，并整合必要的促进器，以满足SRIA为混合动力支线飞机设定的-50%基于技术的温室气体排放。HERA飞机的尺寸约为50-100个座位，到2030年年中将在区域和短程空中机动性中运行，典型距离不到500公里(城市间区域连接)。飞机将为未来可持续发展的多式联运和多式联运框架做好准备。HERA飞机将包括以电池或燃料电池为能源的混合电力推进，以SAF或氢气燃烧为热源，以达到高达90%的低排放，同时完全符合国际民航组织的噪音规则。HERA飞机将在2030年年中投入使用，遵守新的认证规则，能够与新的地面基础设施互动，支持新能源。这将使HERA飞机为实际收入做好准备，为运营商和乘客提供可持续、安全和快速的连接，意味着在低温室气体排放下，HERA将量化交易创新的飞机架构和配置，以整合几种颠覆性使能技术，包括高压兆瓦级配电、热管理、新机翼和机身，以及在低温室气体排放下的新混合动力推进和相关新能源储存。为了支持这一史无前例的整合挑战，HERA将开发合适的流程、工具和模拟模型，支持新的交互、价值链中的工作共享以及系统和组件之间的接口。HERA还将详细阐述未来混合动力支线飞机在清洁航空第二阶段的演示战略，以支持HERA解决方案早期影响所需的高TRL演示。

HERA will identify and trade-off the concept of a regional aircraft, its key architectures, develop required aircraft-level technologies and integrate the required enablers in order to meet the -50% technology-based GHG emission set in SRIA for a Hybrid-Electric Regional Aircraft. The HERA aircraft, having a size of approximately of 50-100 seats, will operate in the regional and short-range air mobility by mid-2030 on typical distances of less than 500 km (inter-urban regional connections). The aircraft will be ready for future inter-modal and multi-modal mobility frameworks for sustainability. The HERA aircraft will include hybrid-electric propulsion based on batteries or fuel cells as energy sources supported by SAF or hydrogen burning for the thermal source, to reach up to 90% lower emissions while being fully compliant with ICAO noise rules. The HERA aircraft will be ready for entry into service by mid-2030, pursuing to the new certification rules, able to interact with new ground infrastructure, supporting new energy sources. This will make HERA aircraft ready for actual revenue service offering to operators and passengers sustainable, safe and fast connectivity mean at low GHG emissions HERA will quantitatively trade innovative aircraft architectures and configurations required to integrate several disruptive enabling technologies including high voltage MW scale electrical distribution, thermal management, new wing and fuselage as well as the new hybrid-electric propulsion and related new energy storage at low GHG. To support this unprecedented integration challenge, HERA will develop suitable processes, tools and simulation models supporting the new interactions, workshare in the value chain and interfaces among systems and components. HERA will also elaborate on the future demonstration strategy of a hybrid–electric regional aircraft in Phase 2 of Clean Aviation to support the high TRL demonstration required for an early impact for HERA solutions.
