Energy saving 15 kg, and thus the overall impact on the aircraft can be ignored. A test platform using a turbocharger on
an automobile is built to test the performance of the power-recovery unit under different simulated flight
altitudes. The experimental results show that the turbocharger can recover shaft power in the range of
2.2–10.1 kW and that power is easily recovered via the novel energy-saving scheme.
