Abstrakt: Just like in the field of road vehicles, the tendency to increasingly electrify aeronautical systems is a topical trend triggered, first of all, by international legislation on pollutant emissions. The proposed subject is in line with this trend in civil aviation, investigating the use of a hybrid propulsion system (electric generator driven by a gas engine) for enhancing endurance of UAVs. Electronically controlled ignition map for best performances of the generator is theoretically determined and then tested on an UAV testbed. Influences on the main performance features: payload and range are studied. Performances are calculated using classical civil aircraft methods (1). It is found that the better performances can be achieved with current approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
