Early life and education

She was born to Dipok Kumar Ghosh and Indira Ghosh in October 30, 1988. She went to Aparnacharan school and Chittagong Cantonment Public College. She completed her B.Sc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) from Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology and MSc in Electrical Power Engineering from RWTH Aachen University.

Career

She started her career as a lecturer in Premier University, Chittagong. Then went to Germany and did internship in Infineon Technologies. From the very beginning, her intention was to work with environment-friendly technology and renewable energy. So after completing M.Sc. from RWTH she joined the research team of Hy-4 project. Josef Kallo . [4] is the chief researcher of this project.

On 29 September 2016, the HY4 aircraft took off its first official flight. [5] from Stuttgart Airport. The HY4 is the world's first four-seat passenger aircraft powered solely by a hydrogen fuel cell system. A successful flight of a four-seat passenger plane, at the Stuttgart Airport in Germany, was completed on that day. Being a member of this research team she became part of the history of civil aviation in the world.

She also runs a web portal German Probashe. [6] She is the Vice-President (Culture), Editor of German Probashe. [7] This portal win Deutsche Welle The BOBs Award, Peoples Choice Winner of User Award Bengali. [8] in 2016.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Electric aircraft</span> Aircraft powered directly by electricity, with no other engine needed

An electric aircraft is an aircraft powered by electricity. Electric aircraft are seen as a way to reduce the environmental effects of aviation, providing zero emissions and quieter flights. Electricity may be supplied by a variety of methods, the most common being batteries. Most have electric motors driving propellers or turbines.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Environmental effects of aviation</span> Effect of emissions from aircraft engines

Aircraft engines produce gases, noise, and particulates from fossil fuel combustion, raising environmental concerns over their global effects and their effects on local air quality. Jet airliners contribute to climate change by emitting carbon dioxide, the best understood greenhouse gas, and, with less scientific understanding, nitrogen oxides, contrails and particulates. Their radiative forcing is estimated at 1.3–1.4 that of CO2 alone, excluding induced cirrus cloud with a very low level of scientific understanding. In 2018, global commercial operations generated 2.4% of all CO2 emissions.

A hydrogen-powered aircraft is an aeroplane that uses hydrogen fuel as a power source. Hydrogen can either be burned in a jet engine or another kind of internal combustion engine, or can be used to power a fuel cell to generate electricity to power an electric propulsor. It cannot be stored in a traditional wet wing, and hydrogen tanks have to be housed in the fuselage or be supported by the wing.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">DLR HY4</span> Hydrogen-powered aircraft type HY4

HY4 is a four seat hydrogen fuel cell powered aircraft. It made its maiden flight on 29 September 2016 from Stuttgart Airport, powered by gaseous hydrogen. It was designed by DLR Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics of the German Aerospace Center, based on the Taurus G4, manufactured by Pipistrel.

A hybrid electric aircraft is an aircraft with a hybrid electric powertrain. As the energy density of lithium-ion batteries is much lower than aviation fuel, a hybrid electric powertrain may effectively increase flight range compared to pure electric aircraft. By May 2018, there were over 30 hybrid electric aircraft projects, and short-haul hybrid-electric airliners were envisioned from 2032.
