MOET (More Open Electrical Technologies) is charged with establishing a new industrial standard for the electrical design system of commercial aircraft, usable by the business and regional aircraft and rotorcraft as well.

MOET will enhance aircraft design and use by working on power source rationalisation and electrical power flexibility. This new standard will strengthen the competitiveness of the European aeronautical industry, and will also reduce aircraft emissions and will improve operational aircraft capacity.

To create this new standard, MOET will launch significant changes in power management and use, which up to now were not possible due to technological limits.  It will build these changes based upon the solid foundations of previous European research, especially POA.

MOET will establish and reinforce competences across the aircraft industry and supply chains by developing key technologies based on extensive European expertise.

MOET is comprised of 46 companies (13 being SMEs) and 15 Research Centres or Universities from 14 European countries. The project is coordinated by AIRBUS France. This integrated project is partially funded by the European Union, through FP6 and the Framework of the Aeronautics Industry R&D Objectives.

MOET had its official launch at AIRBUS France on July 6, 2006. It was attended by representatives from each partner as well as by the EC.  MOET hopes to achieve its goals by June 2009.
