Project Information
A Hybrid Electric Propulsion (HEP) system development project launched in 2021 is a basic
technology R&D project which is led by Korea Aerospace Research Institute and funded by
the ROK government. This project was initiated by the needs of adopting a gas turbine
engine based-hybrid electric propulsion system for a long endurance and high payload
eVTOL (e-Vertical Take-Off and Landing). All electric VTOL is known as to have
limitations of payload and range due to restricted energy density of Li-Ion battery. The goal
of this project covers to establish an optimal design of the hybrid electric propulsion system
and to do the HEP system performance test at a newly constructed ground test facility. The
HEP system has many components such as a turboshaft engine, a generator, a rectifier,
several battery packs, motors, inverters, heat exchangers, and etc. It requires the layout
deign for effective and compact package and the light weight design using DfAM (Design
for Additive Manufacturing). Therefore, this technical project will cover the packaging
optimization of an electric engine nacelle and the light weight design of a battery pack
housing.
3.2
Introduction
3.2.1 Conceptual design of a hybrid propulsion system
A schematic design of a series hybrid propulsion system is shown in Fig. 1, and in general,
the system features a couple of cruise propellers (or prop-rotors) and several lift prop-rotors.
Each cruise propeller or lift prop-rotor connects to an electric motor and an inverter which
are installed in an electric engine nacelle with accessary components for thermal
management system and tilting mechanism as shown in Fig. 2.

3.2.2 Electric Engine Nacelle
Various components such as a motor, inverter, heat exchanger, pump, fluid tank and fan are
installed inside the engine nacelle. It is important to package them compactly in a limited
space, considering their shapes and sizes. However, because these components emit heat,
the performance of the other components may be degraded if the only compactness is
considered. Therefore, it is necessary to take account of the thermal effect between
components together.
Figure 2. Example of electric engine nacelles
3.2.3 Battery Pack Housing
A hybrid propulsion system has two power sources such as turbo-generator and Li-Ion
battery which satisfy the high-energy and high-power requirements respectively. The Li-Ion
battery has lower energy density and therefore the mass of battery pack should be
minimized under some constraints of cooling effectiveness and structural integrity.

Overview
This section defines the work to be performed by the Contractor, including the provision of
reports and data for thermal package optimization and light weight design for electric engine
nacelle and battery housing. The contents, which will be included in a contract document,
will be determined based on this RFP and the Contractor's Proposal.
4.2
General Description
The goal of this project is to define the enhanced mathematical model and formulation for
thermal packaging optimization and light weight design based on the KARI’s request, and to
solve the optimization problem with advanced in-house code that the Contractor has.
Finally, the optimized geometry and the next work scope shall be proposed.
4.3
Thermal Package Optimization
4.3.1
KARI will provide the detailed geometry of the electric engine nacelle and all
components in it, which could include a motor, inverters, a heat exchanger, a water
pump, a water tank, a cooling fan, and etc., and will also give basic information
from which the Contractor can obtain thermal effects of them.
4.3.2
The Contractor should consider the thermal effect as follows during packaging
design.
- The nacelle has the intake and exit, which the external air flows into and out of
it.
- A cooling fan is installed inside the nacelle to supply the external air to the heat
exchanger (forced convection).
- The motor and inverter have the water cooling device, and the coolant flows in
the order of the inverter and the motor. The hot coolant from the motor is cooled
again through the heat exchanger, and then supplied to the inverter.
- The simplified thermal model, which should consider forced convection effect,
for packaging optimization should be developed and verified.
4.3.3
The Contractor shall generate a detailed model, which can also describe the
interface with other components, of all components in the electric engine nacelle.
4.3.4
The connection among various components such as high voltage wire harness,
coolant piping, and so on, should be considered, and the information of them will
be provided by KARI.

4.3.5
The Contractor shall define the enhanced mathematical model/formulation for
thermal packaging optimization which can describe the compact layout of all
components and thermal effects in the nacelle envelope and shall discuss it with

has been developing, and then solve the packaging optimization formulation with
its own code.
4.3.7
The Contractor shall provide the interim optimized result, and shall suggest the full
thermal packaging optimization problem as next research scope.
4.3.8
The results of packaging optimization and the plan shall be provided within one
week before final meeting and prepared in MS WORD or MS Power Point format
by KARI.
