This study successfully provides the empirical practicability of a hybrid mechanism for helicopters. A turbine engine and a set of electricity power systems can operate simultaneously and/or independently as a symmetric structure. The latter power source works as an immediate supplementary device if the former one has malfunction. We look forward to promoting this experimental evidence in the helicopter industry. The ultimate purpose of this manuscript is to decrease the incidents of crashes and save people’s lives.
