Series Hybrid Electric Propulsion AircRaft Demonstrator (SHEPARD)
Abstract
The Series Hybrid Electric Propulsion AircRaft Demonstrator (SHEPARD) program is designing and developing an efficient Hybrid Electric Propulsion (HEP) system and integrating it into a unique military aircraft application. The innovative aircraft design will include essential operational considerations and mission system components. The program employs a rapid development framework that capitalizes on maturing mission-enabling technologies to quickly meet emergent mission needs while overcoming significant system-level technical challenges. The result will be a flight-demonstrated system with a minimal viable mission capability that is developed quickly and at relatively low cost.
