Synopsis

Engineer the Future of Electric Flight

The aerospace industry is undergoing a major technological shift as electric and hybrid-electric propulsion move from research programs toward practical aircraft system development. Electric Aircraft Propulsion Engineering provides a rigorous technical guide for engineers, system architects, researchers, and aviation professionals working with modern electric and hybrid-electric aircraft concepts.

From multi-megawatt hybrid architectures to battery safety, motor control, power electronics, distributed propulsion, and certification planning, this reference bridges the gap between academic theory and safety-critical aerospace implementation.

Written for working professionals, this book examines real-world engineering trade-offs, physics-based mathematical models, and safety compliance protocols used in electric aviation programs.

Inside This Engineering Reference:
  • Aviation-Grade Batteries: Cell chemistry selection, high-voltage pack architecture, active cooling, thermal runaway containment, and DO-311A testing considerations.
  • High-Power-Density Motors: PMSM and axial flux motor design, SiC-based inverter topologies, FOC algorithms, and DO-160G EMC compliance considerations.
  • Distributed & Hybrid Propulsion: Trade-offs among series, parallel, and turbo-electric configurations, plus multi-motor flight control synchronization.
  • Systems Safety & Certification: FAA and EASA certification pathways, ARP4761 safety assessment methods, and DO-178C software development standards.

Whether you are an aerospace engineer, propulsion researcher, or systems integrator, this book provides practical frameworks for understanding electric aviation architectures, modeling key trade-offs, and planning safety-critical flight programs.

This book is an independent educational reference and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the FAA, EASA, RTCA, SAE, or any aircraft manufacturer.
