Simulation-driven performance analysis of hybrid-electric regional aircraft

Simulation-driven performance analysis of hybrid-electric regional aircraft

October 7, 2025

Siemens and the HERA project are redefining regional air travel with hybrid-electric aircraft. Using simulation-driven design and digital twins, they’ve cut cruise fuel burn by 5% and boosted efficiency, all whilst staying within 3% of real-world performance data. It’s a bold step toward net-zero aviation.
