Future of Electrical Aircraft Energy Power Systems: An Architecture Review

This article presents an in-depth analysis of all electric-aircraft (AEA) architectures. work aims to provide a global vision the current AEA state art, estimate main technological gaps and drivers, identify most promising architecture configuration for future electrical aircraft in context twin-propeller 20-MW aircraft. The comparison between architectures is done based on three different figures merit: reliability, efficiency, specific power density. methodology presented trade studies are applied narrowbody 20 MW, equivalent Airbus A320, following efforts government agencies achieve cleaner air mobility within next two decades.
