Optimal Paths for Progressive Aircraft Subsystem Electrification in Early Design

What is it about?

One way of making aircraft more fuel efficient is to electrify the subsystems that go on them. Numerous studies have been conducted in this area that determine the best end architecture. We provide a method to determine how to reach such end architectures by making progressive electrification changes. This work provides the best directions for technological improvements to achieve the maximum benefit at each step of the way.
