The More Electric Aircraft (MEA) concept is based on utilizing electric power to drive aircraft subsystems. With advancing electric power technology it will be feasible to use high power density electrical power components to drive the majority of aircraft subsystems. Each of the power transfer disciplines on an aircraft requires specialized Aerospace Ground Equipment/Ground Support Equipment (AGE/GSE), personnel, and deployment of these systems and support personnel to the theater of operations. The system level payoffs that could be realized with MEA for both military and commercial aircraft applications are discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
