In this paper, two hybrid-electric propulsion system configurations are presented as an example of hybrid-electric propulsion systems to decrease fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and flight costs. Today, most academic papers about electrified propulsion are theoretical, therefore conceptual applications with commercially available technologies have been implemented on the Cessna 172S, which is a very common aircraft, to understand the current state of electrification. In 2 h conceptual flight, 14.8% reduction in fuel consumption and flight greenhouse gas emissions; and nearly 14% cost reduction were achieved with battery hybrid-electric and fuel cell hybrid-electric propulsion system configurations.
