Hybrid-Electric Regional FUSelage & Empennages

The "HERFUSE" project, formally titled "Hybrid-Electric Regional FUSelage & Empennages," focuses on designing innovative fuselage and empennages suitable for future Hybrid-Electric Regional (HER) aircraft. This project is part of the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking and aims to contribute significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in aviation.

Key Objectives:

1. Innovative Design: Develop fuselage and empennage structures optimized for hybrid-electric propulsion, improving efficiency and reducing emissions.
2. Environmental Impact: Support the overall goal of achieving significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from regional aircraft.
3. Technological Integration: Advance the integration of hybrid-electric systems into the aircraft design, enhancing the overall performance and sustainability of regional aviation.

Expected Impact:

• Environmental Benefits: The project aims to create aircraft structures that are more efficient and environmentally friendly, contributing to the reduction of aviation's carbon footprint.
• Technological Advancements: By developing advanced fuselage and empennage designs, the project supports the broader adoption of hybrid-electric propulsion systems in commercial aviation.
