Research abstract
We propose to design, build and test a PMDC based electric starter for the T56 gas turbine engine. Phase I results suggest that with new magnet and power electronic technology and our innovative formed winding, the motor and controller will fit in the space allocated for the current ATS and a lithium battery power pack will sit in the fuselage. The weight increment should be negligible at <20lbm per engine with independent starter systems. Environmental considerations may play dominant role in the system design.
