THE CONCEPT OF ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT FOR COMBUSTION ENGINE IN HYBRID TANDEM

Abstract

The article presents the concept of a hybrid propulsion unit for ultralight aircraft. A combustion unit and an electric motor/generator were presented. As part of the research, a dedicated combustion engine controller and a two-way converter for energy conversion were built. The prototype drive unit was installed on a test stand and its initial characteristics were determined. The results of research and conclusions related to the construction of a hybrid drive unit are presented.
