Electric & Hybrid-Electric Aircraft Propulsion System
Electrically powered model aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been flying since the 1970s. Although, in 1917, the first electrically powered manned tethered helicopter was developed. Moreover, the first ever electrically powered airplane, the MB-E1 was flown in October 1973. Along with this, many other electric-powered airplane prototypes are being developed and tested to enhance the air travel experience.

Hybrid-electric propulsion combines a conventional internal combustion engine system with an electric propulsion system. This type of propulsion system does not emit harmful components in the air, which reduces the total pollution levels raised due to air travel. Hybrid-electric propulsion can be classified into series- hybrid propulsion and parallel-hybrid propulsion.

Electric & Hybrid-Electric Aircraft Propulsion System Industry Overview
Governments are investing a significant amount of their resources in developing high-speed propulsion system designs such as ramjet and scramjet propulsion systems. High speed aircraft use air-breathing ramjet and scramjet engines that allow them to hover at extremely high speeds.

The global Electric & Hybrid-Electric Aircraft Propulsion System market is estimated to reach $74.90 billion in 2035, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.39% during the forecast period 2025-2035.
