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 design for
effective and compact package and simultaneously electrical/mechanical routing design such as wire
harness or pipeline for cooling. Therefore, this technical project will cover the packaging optimization
and the cable/pipe routing design of an engine nacelle.
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.
Figure 1. Schematic of HEP system
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. Additionally, during design, performance degradation due to heat generation
of each component and electrical/mechanical connection between components must be considered.

Overview
This section defines the work to be performed by the Contractor, including the provision of reports
and data for thermal package optimization and cable/pipe routing design for engine nacelle. 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 cable/pipe routing 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 & Cable/Pipe Routing Design
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, at least two water pumps, 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 routing problem of the wire harness and pipeline for
cooling.
- The electrical & mechanical inlet/outlet positions of each component are determined in
discussion with KARI.
- The routing design can use the open source such as Dijkstra or A* algorithm, and
concurrently or sequentially perform with the packaging design.
- High voltage wire harnesses and cooling lines have a circular cross-section and the
minimum bending radius. These values will be provided by KARI.
- The envelope of nacelle designed in KARI should be used for more realistic results.
- Not only 1:1 connection between components, but also 1:n connection shall be considered.
- The position and size of the brackets to fix the components and routing must also be
considered.
4.3.3
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
Page 22

Request for Proposal, Part IV
Use or disclosure of the data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page
heat exchanger, and then supplied to the inverter.
- The thermal model, which should consider forced convection effect, for packaging
optimization should be developed and verified.
4.3.4
The Contractor shall generate a detailed model, which can also describe the interface with
other components, of all components in the electric engine nacelle.
4.3.5
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 KARI.
4.3.6
If necessary, the Contractor shall customize the in-house code that the Contractor 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.
