Public award description
CURRENT PROTOTYPE MOTORS AND INVERTERS FOR SMALL AIRCRAFT ELECTRIC PROPULSION HAVE IMPRESSIVE EFFICIENCY OF ABOUT 95 AND 97 PERCENT AND TYPICAL POWER DENSITY OF A LITTLE OVER 2KW KG AND 5KW KG RESPECTIVELY. WE CAN IMPROVE EACH OF THESE METRICS WITH A RIGID WINDING WHICH IS FORMED IN SITU TO INCREASE SLOT FILL AND A 99.5 PERCENT EFFICIENT INVERTER BASED ON MASSIVELY PARALLEL, WIDE BANDGAP POWER SWITCHES. WITH INDEPENDENT BRAINS AND BRAWN SECTIONS, THE INVERTER IS SCALABLE AND CAN BE DISTRIBUTED WITHIN THE MOTOR CASE, ALLOWING FAULT TOLERANCE AND THERMAL INTEGRATION BENEFITS. THE REDUCED WEIGHT AND COOLING NEEDS REPRESENT AN EFFECTIVE RANGE ENHANCEMENT OF ABOUT 8 PERCENT WHEN CONFIGURED FOR THE X 57 CRUISE MOTORS.
