Brief Description and Purpose: In the early 1990’s NASA assembled a team made up of several industries in the aircraft community to investigate power-by–wire (more-electric) applications for aircraft. PC Krause and Associates Inc. (PCKA) was contracted to conduct analysis and modeling with the goal of developing an end-to-end simulation of a team developed example more-electric aircraft. Although the team assembled and the goal of the program were appropriate, NASA Headquarters reduced the funding soon after the start of the effort followed by a three month work stoppage and soon after, the program was discontinued.
