This paper addresses the simulation-based verification of system and component requirements for an electrically powered General Aviation aircraft in the early stages of development. Alongside the development of an innovative electric powertrain and its integration into a motor glider, the project's objectives include adherence to certification standards such as CS-22 and pertinent aviation norms and recommended practices such as ARP4754. To accomplish this, a simulation framework is employed, featuring a comprehensive system simulation model capable of executing parallelized mission simulations automatically. Additionally, it offers functionalities for real-time pilot-, hardware-in-the-loop and automated simulations. Through the execution of predefined missions within this closed hardware-in-the-loop setup, the simulation produces results that aid in deriving requirements for component development, such as those concerning the battery or motor. Moreover, these simulation outcomes play a pivotal role in automatically verifying requirements established in the initial stages of the design process. The establishment of a bi-directional link between the requirements management tool Polarion ALM and the simulation environment enables compliance with traceability requirements and facilitates an automated round-trip workflow.
