1.1 Introduction

The regional aviation market has evolved rapidly over recent decades, both from a geographical and technological point of view and from a business model perspective. It is not just about linking the megacities of the world, but also about revealing the potential of secondary and tertiary airports.

Turboprops in particular have a key role to play in exploring and developing new routes, thus promoting local community development. The regional market remains one of the most promising sectors in the commercial aviation market.

The below Table summarises market/design requirements for our aircraft development:

PARAMETERS REQUIREMENTS

EIS (Entry Into Service) 2024

PASSENGERS 30-50 (single-class) Family (include Freighter)

TAKE OFF & LANDING FIELD LENGTHS Compete ATR 42

MAXIMUM LANDING APPROACH SPEED Compete ATR 42

POWERPLANT Minimum two, electric, hybrid-electric or jet

CERTIFICATION FAR or JAR Part 25

Figure 1. Summary of Market Requirements and Objectives

As we can see, a large amount of requirements are based on the ATR 42 aircraft, so the ATR aircraft will be our main reference to establish the market and design objectives in our family aircraft.

The main difference included in our family aircraft is the propulsion system which will be composed by two hybrid powered engines. The main advantages respect to our reference competitor:

- Low gases emissions,

- Savings on fuel cost, allowing to our operators to be more competitive in relation to their competitors.

1.3 Design Requirements and Objectives

One of the first steps in airplane design is the establishment of design requirements and objectives. These are used to formally document the project goals, ensure that the final design meets the requirements, and to aid in future product development. In the below table, we see the design requirements and objectives of our family aircraft:
