IMOTHEP’s targets

Reference missions

Short/medium range: minimum segment for a significant impact on aviation emissions
Regional: more accessible, potential intermediate step toward SMR

Mission	Pax	Speed	Targeted range
Regional	50	[0.4 - 0.48]	600 nm
SMR	150 - 180	[0.6 - 0.8]	≥ 800 nm 1200 nm best option

Technological scope

Central focus on thermal hybrid with drop-in fuel
+ some investigations on fuel cell at conceptual level (aircraft + fuel cell specific issue for aircraft)
Main focus on conventional conductivity
+ exploration of superconductivity as a potential enabler

IMOTHEP’s supporting configurations

Build-on / complement existing studies (e.g. CS2, CENTRELINE, etc.)
Explore a range of architectures
