With over 60% loss in air travel during 2020, the aviation sector grappled with unprecedented challenges. Companies implemented travel restrictions and remote working arrangements to safeguard their workforce, while supply chains faced disruptions and complexities. The impact of COVID-19 was felt on the supply side, leading to delays in order deliveries due to supply chain disruptions in affected countries. However, as the industry adapts to new technologies and supply chain management practices, visibility and agility have improved, driving resilience and progress. Driving Forces: New Generation Hybrid Architecture While the aviation industry transitions towards electrification, current electric power sources face limitations in storing enough charge for long-distance flights. To overcome this hurdle, researchers and battery companies are exploring breakthrough battery chemistry, such as Sodium-ion (Na-ion), Lithium-metal (Li-metal), Lithium-Sulphur (Li-S), or Zinc-air (Zn-air), to achieve higher energy density than current Li-ion technology. Hybrid aircraft present a solution by incorporating micro turbine engines as electric power generators to propel the aircraft during power-intensive moments or when batteries are depleted. This hybrid approach addresses range limitations and enhances on-flight power generation, driving the demand for microturbine engines. Challenges to Address: High Overall Temperature and Harsh Environments While microturbine engines offer advantages, they face challenges related to the high overall temperature of systems, which require specialized cooling methods. Additionally, reliable operation in harsh environments demands skilled operators and robust cables capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, chemicals, and flexing. Opportunities in Distributed Power Generation Systems The development of distributed electric propulsion (DEP) technology opens new avenues for increased efficiency, reduced operating costs, and enhanced safety. DEP leverages propulsors integrated with airframes, distributed across wings to improve performance and efficiency. This technology has sparked global research and development, and various companies are exploring its applications, particularly in air taxis and unmanned cargo delivery systems. As the regulatory framework for Beyond Visual Line of Operations (BVLOS) matures, drone adoption for cargo and passenger delivery is expected to surge, creating opportunities for microturbine engines in advanced air mobility. Market Segmentation: Aftermarket Dominance, Auxiliary Power, and Advanced Air Mobility Growth The aftermarket segment is anticipated to dominate the market in 2021, focused on replacing auxiliary power units (APUs) as their service life expires. Microturbine engines are gaining traction as auxiliary power units in civil aviation, reducing operating costs and emissions. Advanced air mobility emerges as a dynamic platform with the fastest growth potential. With urban populations rising, the development of hybrid air taxis and unmanned cargo delivery systems gains momentum. Rolls-Royce and Electra.aero are among the companies working on electrified aircraft and blown lift technology, propelling the growth of advanced air mobility. Regional Leadership: Europe Takes the Lead Europe is poised to lead the aircraft microturbine engines market in 2021. As the demand for durable and stealthy aerial vehicles for military operations grows, key players in Europe collaborate to develop advanced technologies and platforms. The rise in electric aircraft development, advancements in aerial vehicle technologies, and increased air traffic contribute to Europe's dominance in the market.
