Numerical and Experimental correlation on Electro-Hydro Dynamic system for Small Aircraft propulsion

With the ambition of reducing the environmental footprint of its products, Airbus is developing new generations of "more electric" aircrafts. This includes a wide variety of applications, from "zero emission aircrafts" to "full electric" small aircrafts. For the latter, recent examples in Airbus are Urban Air Mobility demonstrators, like the Vahana or the City Airbus, and the E-Fan aircraft, which crossed the English Channel from Lydd to Calais on July 9 th , 2015.
