The current battery and power system technologies are adequate for electric cars but still not mature enough to be implemented in commercial electric aircraft. This research aims to provide an overview of potential solutions for the electrification of the major systems of conventional aircraft, which includes advancements in the efficiency of the energy systems and reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The background of the evolution of electric aircraft is given in the beginning. The challenges faced by engineers in electrifying the current commercial airliners are introduced and analyzed. Efforts are given to provide an outlook of the current progress of development of this field along with the key technologies applied by current more-electric aircraft (MEA). Finally, several promising future trends in the development of MEA are discussed.

“…Power electronic systems are needed with specific features due to aeronautic specifications: Harmonics, power factor, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), efficiency, size, weight, harsh environment and isolation [10]. The latter characteristic is necessary for safety and reduction of EMC current [11]. This isolation function is usually made with high frequency transformer, included in power electronic converter.…”

The More Electric Aircraft (MEA) has motivated aircraft manufacturers since few decades. Indeed, their investigations lead to the increase of electric power in airplanes. The challenge is to decrease the weight of embedded systems and therefore the fuel consumption. This is possible thanks to new efficient power electronic converters made of new components. As magnetic components represent a great proportion of their weight, planar components are an interesting solution to increase the power density of some switching mode power supplies. This paper presents the benefits and drawbacks of high frequency planar transformers in DC/DC converter, different models developed for their design and different issues in MEA context related to planar's specific geometry and technology.
