Our project and our objectives
The Blu-Spark Project
The Blu-Spark project will offer the first modular parallel hybrid power unit to be mounted in new airplanes or as retrofit kit that will enable to increase considerably the airplanes safety by increasing at the same time the technical performances and decreasing the noxious emissions and the fuel consumption.
The parallel Hybrid architecture is at present the most valuable transition to step from Internal combustion engines to full electric power units featuring at the same time more performances. The main components have been developed and selected since the beginning in order to deeply satisfy the requirement of this specific application being lightness, efficiency and overall system costs reduction. The developed hybrid airplane demonstrator feature the same weight and more power of a high performing traditional ICE airplanes
reduce fuel consumption
and emissions
increase the airplane range
increase flight safety
by
enabling operating the airplane in case of failure of the ICE, using the electric motor as backup propulsion system
by
increasing the airplane climbing rate adding the electric motor power to the ICE’s
increase safety and durability of mechanical parts thanks to the electric motor contribution to the flight
reduce emissions by flying the airplane in pure-electric propulsion mode
