The transition to electrical aircraft power architectures is drastically reducing aircraft mechanical complexity. A novel electrical distribution centre allowing the smart connection of electrical loads and sources to the electrical test bench (ETB) can accelerate by tenfold validation of new technologies.
Although aircraft with electric engines are some way off, More Electrical Aircraft (MEA) are here thanks to major advances made on the EU scale to replace hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
