Novel (hybrid-)electric aircraft designs often use assumptions for future performance of crucial design parameters. These estimations can vary widely between studies, making a judgment of the design feasibility and comparisons between designs difficult. This study proposes a criterion to assess the credibility of main component performance estimations and a proposed futuristic aircraft concept.
