It is jointly developed by Tecnam Aircraft, Rolls-Royce and Rotax&#8217;s specialized teams and successfully flew for the first time on\u00a021 December, 2021. The flight was performed by Tecnam\u2019s Chief Experimental Test Pilot Lorenzo De Stefano, with Tecnam, Rolls-Royce and Rotax Teams on the ground. The Permit to Fly\u00a0was issued by ENAC, the Italian Civil Aviation Authority.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>H3PS stands for \u201cHigh Power High Scalability Aircraft Hybrid Powertrain\u201d. It\u00a0is a project funded in 2018 under the European Union Horizon 2020 research and innovation program. With H3PS\u2019 success, Tecnam Aircraft and project partners have validated the aircraft\u2019s scalability potential, lower emissions, state of the art power management technology, building a viable launchpad for future green aircraft models.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/news.e-flight-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.e-flight-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-2.png 640w, https:\/\/www.e-flight-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-2-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>H3PS is converted from Tecnam P2010 single-engine four-seat airplane. The airplane is normally powered by a 180hp Lycoming IO-360 combustion engine, but the H3PS demonstrator\u00a0is converted to a 104kW Rotax 915iS\u00a0engine coupled with a 30kW Rolls-Royce electric motor, totaling 134kW (180hp) powertrain in a fully integrated parallel hybrid configuration. As such, H3PS\u00a0aircraft is first of its kind\u00a0of parallel hybrid\u00a0electric airplane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/news.e-flight-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-778\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.e-flight-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-3.png 640w, https:\/\/www.e-flight-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-3-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Not intended for market purposes, the H3PS demonstrator airplane\u00a0served as a validation tool and launchpad for Tecnam Aircraft and its project partners, who are now focused on expanding their sustainability efforts. As an EU-funded research project, H3PS has limits of duration and budget and is thus more for research and technology demonstration purposes rather than for commercial use. However, as the participating\u00a0partners of the project mentioned, the technology and experiences obtained from H3PS will be transferred to other application which are intended for commercial use. Tecnam\u2019s P-Volt is such case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drawing a large crowd everyday during show, the H3PS project&#8217;s demonstrator airplane located at the front row of A7 hall dedicated to &#8222;e-Flight-Expo&#8220; was certainly a highlight at AERO 2022.
