Hybridization in electric aviation is a consequence of limitations that purely electric systems cannot overcome in certain missions. Short urban flights are fundamentally different from long-range cargo or surveillance missions, especially when range and payload requirements exceed what purely electric systems can deliver. This is where hybridization becomes necessary, enabling missions that purely electric systems alone cannot fulfill. However, hybridization cannot be solved at the component level alone, it is a system integration challenge. Energy management, thermal behavior, and mission profile are tightly coupled. This is where simulation becomes essential. It enables the evaluation of architectures and trade-offs early, before hardware decisions are fixed. We will explore this in a dedicated session at the AVL SIMpulse. Sign up for free: https://lnkd.in/dJtmZbH2
