This thesis presents a new methodical approach to consistently assess aero-propulsion systems for transport category aircraft with entry-into-service dates far beyond today. By featuring a technology level-dependent probabilistic top-down design procedure a rapid and reliable analysis of future technology scenarios at an early stage during the pre-conceptual design process is enabled. Based upon the elaborated approach electric propulsion systems are comparatively evaluated under consideration of the complete energy-specific emission production process from well to wake.
