What is it about?

Regional turboprop aircraft spend a high proportion of their missions for ground procedures. Since the propellers are inefficient at low speeds it leads to high fuel consumption. Motorizing the main landing with an Electric Taxiing System (ETS) is a promising solution to reduce the taxiing fuel burn. We show for the first time the operational requirements an ETS must meet for such aircraft and demonstrate the benefits of an ETS integration for a regional turboprop aircraft.
