This chapter serves as an introductory chapter for the later Chapter 8 - 11. In this chapter, we discuss why electric aviation is necessary and which application scenarios the e-aviation plays. Electrified aviation is for versatile, smarter and green, electrified aviation reduces the airport contamination and saves the airport resources. The outline of the chapter is:
• The niche aviation – AAM
• The smarter aviation – VTOL
• The green aviation – less CO2
• The case studies / the learnings from Boeing 787, VTOL carcopter, and UAS
• The distinct topics of e-propulsion on thrust vs. power, torque vs. speed
