Aircraft electrification has two elements: the More Electric Aircraft (MEA) trend, and the Electrical Propulsion (EP) revolution
It is not a question of if, but when

A transition to electrical propulsion is required if aviation is to remain close to today's contribution to global CO2 emissions
A Baseline: continued industry evolution at current pace > Fleet growth of 4.0% p.a. to 2050, aircraft retirement age of 25 years > Fuel burn reduction of 1% p.a. on new aircraft through technology improvement with
cap at 15% relative to today as technology matures > No production of electric or hybrid regional or large commercial aircraft
B Accelerated evolution of today's technology > Fuel burn reduction of 2.5% p.a. on new aircraft through technology improvement
with cap at 42% relative to today2)
> All other assumptions as Scenario A
C Adoption of electric propulsion due to "normal market forces" > Production of hybrid-electric aircraft starts in 2035 > Production of all electric aircraft starts in 2040 > All other assumptions as Scenario B
D Regulatory-driven transition to electrical propulsion > Forced retirement of all existing aircraft at 10 years with replacement by electric from
2030 onwards > All other assumptions as Scenario C
Source: Roland Berger emissions model, IPCC, AG analysis, EU Clean Sky
1) For each scenario, the range is obtained by considering different global emissions Representative Concentration Pathways. Namely, RCP 2.6 for the maximum value and RCP 8.5 for the minimum value. RCP 4.5 is used to obtain the average; 2) Based on Clean Sky assumptions for airframe, system and network improvements

Significant progress has been made against the barriers to electrical propulsion…but a number of questions are yet to be answered
Landscape of barriers for aircraft electrification
Passenger demand
> Consumer preference to fly "green"/low noise a/c
> Consumer acceptance of autonomous flight
> Willingness to pay for Urban Air Mobility
Airline demand
> Airline willingness to take new technology risk
> Airline ability to maintain/increase profits with electric propulsion
> Demonstrating similar/reduced cost per seat mile
Effective batteries
> Battery performance
> Battery safety/hazard containment
Efficient electric machines
> Light, high power density generators and motors
> Power electronics
> Safe and light high voltage distribution
Autonomous flight technology
> Essential for UAT business case
Technology Regulation driving change
> Emissions controls
> Noise targets
Regulation adapting to change
> Certification of novel technology
> Air traffic management of Urban Air Taxis
> Management of data & network security
Infrastructure requirements
> Implementation of charging points in airports
> Additional solutions for electricity generation
Policy Market demand
What product architecture(s) will emerge to overcome these barriers?

> Who will emerge to operate the new aviation segments (sub-regional, Urban Air Taxis)?
> Will safety levels for these be the same as traditional aerospace?
Policy makers
> How can airworthiness authorities enable the trend but maintain safety standards?
> How will airspaces change? > How will public infrastructure
evolve to enable the shift?
