Research on safety issues and safety analysis of new energy aircraft

Abstract As the global aviation industry faces increasing pressure on the environment, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has implemented increasingly strict requirements for aircraft carbon emissions. The adoption of innovative energy technologies, such as electric power, hydrogen fuel, and sustainable biofuels in the aviation sector, will enable us to achieve zero carbon emission targets and mitigate environmental pollution associated with air transportation. Drawing on statistical data of aviation accidents, this paper analyses the primary causes of flight mishaps and summarizes several safety issues faced by new energy aircraft. Based on these, the new energy aircraft is divided into several subsystems, including power system, energy system, flight control system and so on. Then, safety analysis tools and methods are then used to conduct an analysis of the aircraft’s safety, with the aim of improving overall safety.
