Abstract: Electric aircraft is a promising technological development in the aviation industry, and it will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fuel costs while increasing the efficiency of aircraft. There are also some challenges with electric aircraft, as in every new technology. These are storage technology, electric propulsion system comprising electric machine and power electronics converters, protection devices, wiring, thermal management of components, certification, and system/component integration. Electrification is once started with more electric aircraft, and ongoing research and development projects will light the way for the fully electric aircraft era in the future. This paper highlights the challenges of aircraft electrification and presents the current situation on electrification.
