The article begins by presenting the hybrid version of Dardo Aircraft by CFM Air, a full composite material aircraft, whose hybrid version has been designed to meet the following requirements: 1) Takeoff with only one of the two engines (electric or piston) 2) One hour of hybrid cruise with at least 10% of mechanical power supplied by the electric motor 3) Maximize the range 4) Limited modifications to the propulsion system and structure 5) Wing-mounted batteries. In the second part of the work, the effectiveness of introducing surface protection methods based on nanotechnologies is evaluated. Three application areas have been identified. It investigates the anticorrosive and potential increase in fatigue life of metal joints like Al-2024-T3 aluminum alloy, the enhanced cleaning for composite and plexiglass parts, and the possible thermal protection effect for application on plexiglass and composite parts.

Abstract
The article begins by presenting the hybrid version of Dardo Aircraft by CFM Air, a full composite material aircraft, whose hybrid version has been designed to meet the following requirements: 1) Takeoff with only one of the two engines (electric or piston) 2) One hour of hybrid cruise with at least 10% of mechanical power supplied by the electric motor 3) Maximize the range 4) Limited modifications to the propulsion system and structure 5) Wing-mounted batteries. In the second part of the work, the effectiveness of introducing surface protection methods based on nanotechnologies is evaluated. Three application areas have been identified. It investigates the anticorrosive and potential increase in fatigue life of metal joints like Al-2024-T3 aluminum alloy, the enhanced cleaning for composite and plexiglass parts, and the possible thermal protection effect for application on plexiglass and composite parts.Pubblicazioni consigliate
