N2 - The potential of hybrid-electric aircraft technology is currently vigorously explored both within the academic community and in industry. The overall technology assessment of a Bavarian research project “PowerLab”, which aims to develop a hybrid-electric flying platform, yielded results on its overall application potential. This paper expounds on the application potential of the hybrid-electric aircraft concept of the project “PowerLab” using a network-theoretic approach to analyse the impact on the global air transportation network. The results show the ability of the approach to identify the various network role assignments of the hybrid-electric aircraft application potential. The operational infrastructure requirements for hybrid-electric aircraft operations were analysed in conjunction with the network integration analysis.
