Distributed Electric Propulsion technology was demonstrated and tested in a measurement campaign with numerous flights of a scaled aircraft in 2024 (SFD DEP).
The flight dynamics and control of the aircraft allow steering and controlling the aircraft with differential thrust. It enables the aircraft to steer during flight with different thrust of the left and right engines relative to each other. This technology that offers several advantages such as reduced drag (e.g. less usage of the control surfaces), can contribute to innovations towards climate neutral aviation.
