A technology assessment study conducted to evaluate the applicability of an all-electric airplane concept to transport aircraft is presented. The study compared two all-electric variations of the Lockheed medium advanced transport aircraft (ATA) with the existing ATA that utilizes advanced structures, aerodynamics, and engines, but conventional secondary power systems. The results of reconfiguration tradeoff studies conducted on the primary and secondary flight controls, engine start, environmental control, secondary power generation and distribution, and the landing-gear brakes are considered. Maintainability, reliability, and weight analyses are outlined.
