Abstract:
The concern for energy conservation and the escalating fuel costs threaten to impact adversely on the economic viability of the aerospace industry. This paper discusses the role of the All-Electric Airplane in assuaging the problems of fuel costs; it also evaluates the ability of an all-electric secondary power system to take over the functions and services historically in the province of the hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
