This research paper presents a simulation-based approach for automated requirements validation for electric aircrafts under failure scenarios and windy conditions. Within the scope of the project ELAPSED, a novel electric powertrain is being developed for a General Aviation motor glider. A requirements management toolchain featuring round-trip capabilities has been implemented to thoroughly validate pertinent aircraft system requirements. A comprehensive 6-DoF simulation model of the electric-powered glider has been modelled to execute missions in windy conditions and induce failures. This study investigates hazardous failures, such as power loss during take-off, and their impact on aircraft performance. Additionally, adverse weather conditions like strong tailwinds are examined for their impact on take-off performance, leading to increased take-off distances. These critical scenarios are scrutinized in relation to the aircraft requirements within this research. Simulations involving windy conditions and failure occurrences are conducted in parallel manner with the aim to achieve results quickly. As well, several key aircraft performance requirements are validated using an automated requirements validation toolchain.    «
