Thrust-borne flight implies a higher mass fraction of the propulsion system, as well as much increased energy consumption in the take-off and landing phases. This mass increase is typically higher for aircraft with a separate lift propulsion system than for aircraft that use the cruise propulsion system to support a dedicated lift system. However, for a cost-benefit trade study, it is necessary to quantify the impact the VTOL requirement and propulsion configuration has on aircraft mass and size. For this reason, sizing studies are conducted. This paper explores the impact of considering a supplemental electric propulsion system for achieving hovering flight. Key variables in this study, apart from the lift system configuration, are the rotor disk loading and hover flight time, as well as the electrical systems technology level for both batteries and motors. Payload and endurance are typically used as the measures of merit for unmanned aircraft that carry electro-optical sensors, and therefore the analysis focuses on these particular parameters.}, language = {en} } @article{EngelHoltmannUlberetal.2018, author = {Engel, Mareike and Holtmann, Dirk and Ulber, Roland and Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils}, title = {Increased Biobutanol Production by Mediator-Less Electro-Fermentation}, series = {Biotechnology Journal}, journal = {Biotechnology Journal}, number = {Volume 14, Issue 4}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, issn = {1860-7314}, doi = {10.1002/biot.201800514}, pages = {Artikel 1800514}, year = {2018}, abstract = {A future bio-economy should not only be based on renewable raw materials but also in the raise of carbon yields of existing production routes. Microbial electrochemical technologies are gaining increased attention for this purpose. In this study, the electro-fermentative production of biobutanol with C. acetobutylicum without the use of exogenous mediators is investigated regarding the medium composition and the reactor design. It is shown that the use of an optimized synthetic culture medium allows higher product concentrations, increased biofilm formation, and higher conductivities compared to a synthetic medium supplemented with yeast extract. Moreover, the optimization of the reactor system results in a doubling of the maximum product concentrations for fermentation products. When a working electrode is polarized at -600 mV vs. Ag/AgCl, a shift from butyrate to acetone and butanol production is induced. This leads to an increased final solvent yield of Yᴀᴃᴇ = 0.202 gg⁻¹ (control 0.103 gg⁻¹), which is also reflected in a higher carbon efficiency of 37.6\% compared to 23.3\% (control) as well as a fourfold decrease in simplified E-factor to 0.43. The results are promising for further development of biobutanol production in bioelectrochemical systems in order to fulfil the principles of Green Chemistry.}, language = {en} } @article{KampkerSchleserTriebsetal.2018, author = {Kampker, Achim and Schleser, Markus and Triebs, Johannes and Berg, Alexander-Karl and Hansen, Jan Ole and Fiedler, Falko}, title = {Bauteilintegrierte Vorrichtungsfunktionen im Karosseriebau : Aktuelle Ergebnisse im Forschungsprojekt ProeK}, series = {ZWF Zeitschrift f{\"u}r wirtschaftlichen Fabrikbetrieb}, volume = {113}, journal = {ZWF Zeitschrift f{\"u}r wirtschaftlichen Fabrikbetrieb}, number = {11}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {0947-0085}, doi = {10.3139/104.112012}, pages = {767 -- 770}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Das Forschungsprojekt Produktionseffizienz in der Kleinserie (ProeK) erarbeitet kosteng{\"u}nstige und effiziente L{\"o}sungsans{\"a}tze f{\"u}r Prozessketten im Zukunftsfeld der Elektromobilit{\"a}t.
