Published purpose
This project addresses this gap through the design of a patent-pending Hybrid Intelligent Piston Engine (HIPE) operating on lead-free automotive fuel as a direct retrofit for legacy aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). HIPE integrates an electric motor into a liquid cooled engine crankshaft and uses a real-time AI controller to reduce fuel costs by 70% and increase time between overhauls by 50%. A scaled proof-of-concept prototype will be built to demonstrate hybrid operation and validate efficiency gains.
