Introducing commercially viable air traffic using battery-electric aircraft (EA) necessitates the creation of high-power charging solutions and robust airport infrastructure. This study assesses megawatt-level charging system designs and power management strategies, as a foundation for future implementation. These essential measures prevent airport infrastructure from impeding the adoption of EA.
