The MEA Evolution in Commercial Aircraft and the Consequences for Initial Aircraft Design
Abstract: An important objective in commercial aircraft design is to develop a ’greener’ aircraft. This objective poses many challenges in many fields of aircraft design. The push towards a more environment friendly, efficient and cost effective design has recognized the ‘MEA (more-electric aircraft)’ as a means to contribute towards realizing this goal. The more-electric aircraft can be thought of as an evolutionary concept where non-electrically powered systems and components are gradually …
