The research, prepared by a team including Turkish scientist Gökçin Çınar, with the support of NASA, won an international award. The research was awarded the ‘best article’ award at ITEC, one of the most prestigious science fairs.
All over the world, efforts to transform electricity into electricity, both in air, on land and in water, continue at a rapid pace, especially in aircraft. Electric aircraft In addition to private initiatives to pave the way, state-sponsored organizations also support studies by allocating funds to scientists.
NASA, one of the organizations supporting these studies, also shared a proud news today. NASA, a team including Turkish Aerospace Engineer Gökçin Çınar, at the 2022 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference and Expo (IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference and Fair) received the best article award. explained.
Award for the article of the Turkish scientist:
In the post made from the NASA Aerunautics official account, the Georgia Institute of Technology’s ‘Modeling and Simulation of a Parallel Hybrid Electric Regional Aircraft for the Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration (EPFD) Program published as part of NASA’s Electric Powertrain Flight Demonstration project) ‘, at the Fair Selected as the best article expressed.
Focusing on the development of hybrid electric systems for turboprop engines focused on enabling a new generation of electric aircraft. shared. Assistant Professor Gökçin Çınar from the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan was also in the team that carried out the research.
In the award-winning research-funded project, NASA is working to enable the next generation of electrically powered airplanes. conducts ground and flight tests of electric aircraft propulsion technologies. The ultimate goal of the project, which is also carried out with industry partners, is to perform at least two flight demonstrations in the next five years with next-generation technology and to use these technologies. In the 2030 to 2035 time frame to help convert them into commercial products.
The IEEE Transport Electrification Conference and Expo, where research is rewarded, serves as IEEE’s (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) premier conference on transport electrification and strengthens links between industry and academia.
