PEGASUS

PEGASUS

The Parallel Electric-Gas Architecture with Synergistic Utilization Scheme (PEGASUS) concept is a novel hybrid electric regional aircraft that could reduce operational costs by lowering the amount of energy required to complete a given mission. The PEGASUS concept was designed to satisfy both hybrid (gas and electric) and purely electric missions.
