This paper proposes an analytical framework for estimating the domain in which a technology combination can be used in a system. To accomplish this goal, the concepts of technology critical zone and technological comfort zone were proposed in order to analyze the impact of a new technology during the design phases of a system.rnIn this paper it is demonstrated on electric aircraft technologies, i.e., battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell aircraft.rnrn
