How hybridisation contributes to the decarbonisation of aeronautics

Energy is central to how we transform the aeronautics industry to achieve our decarbonisation ambition by 2050. The transformation follows two axes: Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) use increase and new electrical sources (battery and fuel cell). Hybridisation makes use of different energy sources. This combination helps optimise the overall energy efficiency of a flight and reduce fuel consumption.

Back in my Aeronautical Engineering days, i used to think of Hybrid Propulsion Systems for commercial aircraft. It really joys me that it's finally happening. Good work Airbus.

[varunv]

Truly a company which is a pioneer in the industry

Are you guys sure that a 5% reduction in fuel consumption is worth the investment in battery research and the high cost of manufacturing hybrid aircraft? It may be feasible on long hauls only.

My dad's an engineer and I love planes so much I even wanna be thrown into a plane engine when I die.

Airbus is winning the race in aircraft technology...

Merci Airbus pour vos vidéos continuez à nous faire découvrir le futur de l aviation !!!! j attends avec impatience les prochaines !!

Great video! I'm guessing using electrical propulsion will also help in reducing noise around the airport as well, during both taxi and takeoff/landing.
Although, when you say it saves up to 5% of fuel consumption, I have to ask, in what range of flight? is there a link to where I could read more about this?

[Mentaculus]

Love to see those numbers. A lot of extra weight being hauled around for 5% fuel reduction but obviously that was accounted for. And is it such a good idea to go from a cold turbine to take off power in a very short time? Why not have an electric ground tug help with taxi out. Why not drive the ground electrical motors from an APU or fuel cell and minimize the heavy and potentially dangerous batteries that have caused safety problems in the past. It all sounds good to some in a slick video but I don’t believe that this is the low hanging fruit.

This is Probably the cleanest a commercial jet airliner can get, it is impossible to make a fully electric airplane for long flights or even medium flights, jet engines do not work without fuel.

[TomVereecke]

Great ideas and visions but how about the risk of battery fires?

[heidirabenau]

Airbus is pioneering sustainable aviation!

Hi vọng năm 2030 thì Airbus sẽ cho sản xuất tiếp
1: airbus a330-200, airbus a330-300, airbus a330-neo
2: airbus a340-200, airbus a340-300, airbus a340-500, airbus a340-600
3: airbus a350-900, airbus a350-900 XWB ULR, airbus a350-1000, airbus a350-100 XWB ULR
4: airbus a321-200, airbus a321 NEO
5: airbus a320-200, airbus a320- neo
Hi vọng chúng sẽ được tăng nhẹ kích thước + ADIRU thêm tính năng mới, giá thay đổi
Còn airbus a300, airbus 310, airbus 319, airbus a380 thì cũ quá nên khỏi sản xuất

So let's say during engine startup there is a fault .Then is the battery power sufficient enough for the aircraft return to bay?what will happen is the traffic is busy?
Im speaking in aircraft maintenance point of view.

[peteregan]

Some narrow thinking there. The push back tugs should have a large battery and a new role. The tug should be a robot and take over powering the aircraft the moment the aircraft must cut its power connection to the terminal. The aircraft can use motorised front wheels for push back and driving itself to the runway. The 'slave' autonomous 'tug' follows behind providing power until the aircraft must power up and prepare itself for flight. Ground crew do the power connections at the terminal, and the pilots eject connection at the appropriate time before plane enters runway. After landing and exiting the runway, crew in special gear and vehicle connect a robot 'tug' power supply to the rear of the aircraft for the journey to the terminal if a worthwhile energy saving can be made. While long haul aircraft systems should be made electro-mechanical, and hydraulic systems done away with, weight minimisation is also a goal - battery should not be used for flight power except in an emergency.
The 'blown-wing' effect means short range electric aircraft become STOL aircraft and many more places can be used as airports - increasing short range travel demand. BEV aircraft can use a robot battery to provide power until turn onto the runway, but should not need one on landing due to regen on approach and energy reserve that must be maintained for diversions.

cruising shudn’t use much fuel in comparison.. taxiing also..

@4:07 "take the strain off he engine" this sounds like marketing waffle - what does it actually mean? Rather disappointing that you're only looking at a 5% reduction in fuel consumption. Surely you should be aiming for a much bigger saving?

[icare]

When the aircraft is loosing altitude heading down to the airport, do the engines recharge the batteries like a hybrid vehicle going down a hill?

[JoshuaG]

i'm surprised they took this long to think of making the aircraft hybrid with electric power and gasoline 👍

[safil]

Hybrid vehicles such as micro-turbo charged engines are STUPID IDEAS.
LET US NORMAL 2+litre-engined Vehicles. Powerful. Reability
however there is vagina-hooded vehicle
