Despite roadblocks in battery energy density, the future of urban air mobility via electrified propulsion may not be so distant after all. Using VerdeGo Aero’s third generation VH-3-185 (VH-3) diesel piston hybrid powerplant, the long-awaited VTOL revolution shows more promise today than ever before using hybrid-electric propulsion. This paper details a design study comparing a modified fully electric Uber eCRM-001 aircraft to a weight and airframe equivalent VH-3 hybrid configuration, as well as to two other configurations with conventional propulsion. Through an in-depth weight buildup, aerodynamic analysis, mission performance, and range evaluation study, this paper reveals how a hybrid powerplant unlocks a longer range while meeting the safety measures and reserve fuel regulations set forth by the FAA.
