Top 6 Risks

1.  If projected improvement in the energy sector that we expect to leverage (ex. batteries, fuel cells, power electronics) are not realized then HEP may be applicable to small aircraft, but large all electric/hybrid-electric transports cannot be achieved and the environmental impact not realized.

2.  If HEP component technologies are not realized, then the benefits of HEP vehicles will not be fully realized

3.  If industry does not agree significant savings can be achieved then they will not invest in vehicles.

4.  If electrification poses significant safety or certification hurdles, then integration into fleet will become too costly

5.  If the community can’t cost effectively change/enhance the energy infrastructure at airports, then the viability of electrically powered aircraft will not be realized

6.  If energy sources used to power electric/hybrid electric systems are not from clean energy from a life cycle perspective, the climate benefits will not be realized nor systems developed and fielded.


Leverage Opportunities

•  Leverage early adopter market opportunities to establish new certification criteria and accelerate industry technology investments.

•  Leverage efforts in the Energy and Transportation sectors to improve battery and fuel cell energy density. Higher energy density in these devices may enable all electric architectures and enhance hybrid electric architectures.

•  Leveraging advances in small core turbine engine technologies being developed by industry would enhance hybrid electric architectures

•  Leveraging DoD’s and DARPA’s investment and knowledge in HEP for civilian and military dual use applications will allow NASA to explore a wider range of configurations.

•  Leverage lessons learned from electric/hybrid aircraft propulsion efforts by Google, Facebook, and Boeing to learn how to design, build, integrate and operate vehicles
