22 JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2018 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TECHNOLOGY THE ELECTRIC & HYBRID Aerospace Technology Symposium held in Cologne, Germany on Nov. 16-17, 2017 has meanwhile grown to one of the leading events in the world for high level aerospace engineers, leading research academics, and heads of electrical system design and engineering to discuss, debate, and analyze the devel- opment of hybrid and electric aircraft commercial world. The fourth event organized by the UKi Media & Events, a division of UKIP Media & Events Ltd. from Great Britain, covered almost all aspects of aerospace activi- ties, from general aviation and smaller regional aircraft, to larger commercial airliners, with the intention to highlight and explain the fast-paced development of hybrid propulsion and electrical subsystem architecture or MEA, to discuss the vast research into the increased electrification of aircraft and the possibilities and challenges that brings. Leading experts from around the world presented their views and their current findings, provid- ing an opportunity to exchange ideas and to network. The con- ference that was launched three years ago has quickly grown to an event with some 250 high-level speakers and delegates in 2017. The industr y has well embraced the conference so many of the industr y's biggest players were present as speaker or as participant. Speakers come from OEMs, top tier suppliers, aviation organizations, and from various worldwide universities such as Airbus, Aurora, DLR, EASA, Embraer, Fokker, GE AviaSolutions, NASA, Rolls- Royce, Siemens, GAMA, and many others which contributed to the success of the event. The Electric & Hybrid Aerospace Technology Symposium papers were focus on: • The possibilities created by aircraft hybridization • Commercial aircraft application possibilities and research • Batter y technologies • Electric motor technologies • Environmental impact • Real-world fuel-saving possibilities • Energy-storage systems • Solar possibilities • Efficiency and durability • Increasing flight range through hybridization • The possibilities of pure electric-only commercial and militar y flight • Safety and legislative considerations • Case studies on existing global electric and hybrid research programs • Overcoming engineering challenges • Best design practices • Investment possibilities • Additional advantages of increased electrification • Range-extender technologies The next symposium is sched- uled for Nov. 8-9, 2018.
