Abstract

Aircraft design is a complex process divided into several phases, the first of which is conceptual design. During conceptual design, requirements are established, various configurations are studied, and the phase ends when designers adjust to the best design.
The conceptual design process and the decisions made during it have a great impact on the final product and studying them will be the main objective of this project, together with an understanding of the current capabilities of electric propulsion.
Electric propulsion has already revolutionized the automotive industry and its big step will be the conversion of large-scale aircraft to zero-emission designs as the concept of this project.
To achieve these goals, the first steps in the design of an electric aircraft will be made and the terrain will be set to work on the next iteration.
