The thesis analyzes the feasibility of installing an electric motor for taxiing on the Cessna
152 aircraft, with the aim of reducing noise, emissions, and increasing safety at the airport.
We analyzed the specifications of the aircraft and calculated the required power, torque, and
speed of the electric motors. Based on these calculated specifications, we will select
appropriate electric motors. We determined the necessary forces for moving the aircraft
under various conditions, including taxiing on grass or asphalt surfaces and taxiing uphill.
We examined different installation options for the electric motors, either on the nose wheel
or the rear wheels, and the modifications needed to install the motors and all other
components. Using a selected airport as an example, we demonstrated the change in
deceleration, speed, and distance as a function of time during regenerative braking. Attention
was given to the safety and technical aspects of the installation. We calculated the impact of
all additional components on the mass and center of gravity of the aircraft. We concluded
with system improvements and recommendations for the safe and efficient use of the electric
motor for taxiing on the Cessna 152 aircraft.
