Comparison of technical features between a More Electric Aircraft and a Hybrid Electric Vehicle

With the more and more stringent energy crises and greenhouse effect, ldquomore electricrdquo transports are considered to be one of the solutions. The more electric aircraft and hybrid electric vehicle are the representation of ldquomore electricldquo transports. Some aspect of these two means of transport as installed capacity, role of electricity, electric sources, energy storage techniques and main electrical loads are compared in this paper. The future trend of ldquoelectricrdquo transport is also presented.
