This repo contains the python code of my bachelor thesis. It simulates a flight of a small aircraft (Stemme S6) using different hybrid propulsion architectures and compares the energy consumption.
A detailed description of the methods and a manual how to use this programme can be found in the thesis, but its written in German.
- main.py
- starts a calculation for a configuration and a flight mission specified in data/mission/...
- either the programme tries to optimize and finds the propulsion architecture with the lowest energy consumption (Optimizer.py)
- or a complete analysis can be made (Mesh.py) where a complete dataset of variable combustion engine size and electric engine size (for bot parallel and serial hybrid) will be generated
- starts a calculation for a configuration and a flight mission specified in data/mission/...
example results of one analysis:
the mission is a simple traffic circuit with a climb to 1000 m, flight time: 9 minutes 10 seconds.
results for the parallel hybrid
results for the serial hybrid
this project uses aerocalc for python
