Tours with Chief Scientist and Senior Climate Advisor Dr. Kate Calvin
Tour of the Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration in the HyPER lab on June 17th, 2024 at Glenn Research Center. NASA’s Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration (EPFD) project focuses advancing the future of sustainable aviation by turning hybrid electric flight into a reality. HyPER is a hardware-in-the-loop laboratory that was designed specifically to investigate the dynamic interactions between turbomachinery, the electric power system, and the constantly varying loads of electrified aircraft. It is a small-scale lab capable of rapid reconfiguration through software. This allows the emulation of new engines using simulation models that are easily replaced and then appropriately scaled for power and inertia to the test hardware.
