Electric Energy Carriers in More Electric Aircraft: Suitability Assessment, Potential Use Case Definition, System Sizing and Fuel Penalty Estimation
The transition toward electrified aviation is driven by the need to reduce the environmental impact of air transport. This study evaluates the suitability of electrical energy storage systems (EESSs), including batteries, flywheels, and supercapacitors, for powering aircraft subsystems in more electric aircraft (MEA)....
