Abstract

In 2019 the European Aviation Environmental Report stated showed a relative increase in CO2 emissions of 16% compared to 2005 to 2017. It also stated that an increase of 42% is expected according to current models. Aviation is thus a big sector of the global warming problem. The solution to this is to go full electric. There are already more electric aircraft who decline the use of fuel for aircraft. This project thus attempts to design an electrical architecture for one of these airplanes. This thesis in particular shows the power demand for most the loads on the plane using mostly linear extrapolations, and voltage to current ratio on the system. It also talk about a state of the art electrical motor, and its characteristics, estimated to be available by the year 2038
