Optimization of electric motor for a solar airplane application
This paper presents a method to model and optimize brushless dc motor for a solar airplane. In order to obtain the optimal solution for the given specifications, all free parameters are analyzed globally in one go. For this, the commercial optimization software Pro@Design is used. The method is fully analytical and deterministic. The actual multiphysic model comprises electromagnetic, thermal, and propeller models. Different results of the design of solar airplane motor using this method are presented
A direct-drive solution for Hydrogen supplied all-electric airplane
This paper present a solution for traction motor in Ultra Light Motored (ULM) aircraft applications. A new All Electric Aircraft is here presented with a Hydrogen supplied fuel-cell system and a direct-drive configuration for traction motor. A reverse brushless solution with a distributed winding high pole-pair motor is presented for a 60kW continuous power solution. Materials and geometry have been analyzed with a goal of high torque density and high speed realization. Motor design key points and losses estimation in comparison with the experimental results will be presented.
