In his role, he is charged with delivering the electrical propulsion system for P&amp;WC HEP demonstrator, focusing on developing key technology innovations on energy storage, power distribution and motor drive systems.<\/li>\n<li>His mission includes building technology bricks and diversifying P&amp;WC portfolio toward zero emission aviation, setting new standards for sustainability for regional and commuter aircraft.<\/li>\n<li>R\u00e9mi has experience in complex aerospace electrical systems integration and certification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Pierre Lalancette<\/strong>, Major (Ret\u2019d), RCAF \u2013 Tactical Helicopter Pilot | Veteran Aviator | Aviation Advocate<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pierre Lalancette is a retired Major of the Royal Canadian Air Force, with over 29 years of service as a tactical helicopter pilot. With more than 4,000 flight hours under his belt\u2014most of them in the CH-146 Griffon (Bell 412EP)\u2014Pierre\u2019s career has taken him through the skies over some of the world\u2019s most challenging environments, including Kosovo, Bosnia, Haiti, Lebanon, and Afghanistan.<\/li>\n<li>Whether flying combat support missions overseas or responding to natural disasters like the Saguenay floods and Quebec ice storms at home, Pierre\u2019s love for flying and commitment to the mission have remained constant.<\/li>\n<li>After transitioning to the Reserve Force in 2009, Pierre continued to fly while also serving as Director of Operations at Capital Helicopter. In 2016, he brought his operational expertise into the aerospace industry, joining Pratt &amp; Whitney Canada before retiring from the RCAF Reserve in 2017.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>R\u00e9mi Robache Presentation Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hybrid electric propulsion offers considerable potential to improve aircraft efficiency and reduce emissions across a range of different aircraft applications and thereby support the aviation industry\u2019s goal of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions for air travel by 2050. R\u00e9mi Robache will draw from Pratt &amp; Whitney Canada\u2019s hybrid electric flight demonstrator program to explain the opportunities and challenges of this new propulsion concept, and how it intersects with other technologies and alternative fuels which are required to make aviation more sustainable. Based on a De Havilland Canada Dash 8 experimental aircraft, Pratt &amp; Whitney Canada\u2019s demonstrator program is targeting a 30% improvement in fuel efficiency, compared to today\u2019s most advanced regional turboprop engines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pierre Lalancette Presentation Summary <\/strong>\u2013 \u201cOne Fight, One Team\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In <em>\u201cOne Fight, One Team,\u201d<\/em> Pierre shares a heartfelt, behind-the-scenes look into the world of tactical aviation.
