Comparison of Total Lifecycle Emission of Aircraft with Different Propulsion System

Absztrakt

This paper briefly introduces a new methodology developed for total impact evaluation of the vehicles and transportation systems, compares the application of this study in conventional, hybrid and fully electric aircraft type of propulsion systems. The most important novelties of the applying methodology are as follows: (i) all the impact (environmental impact, safety and security, cost, cost benefits and sustainability are analysed), (ii) the impacts are evaluated on the vehicle and might be evaluated on the transportation system levels, and (iii) generating the total impact index. This paper discusses only the differences in determining the total impact caused by using the different propulsion concepts.
