High Temperature Permanent Magnet Actuator Motor

This proposal describes a novel approach in the design and development of a high temperature resistant electric motor for aerospace actuation applications. A biomorphical inspired adaptive achitecture was conceptualized in Phase I and is proposed to be futher explored in detail in Phase II. BENEFIT: This research and development program explores the concept of adaptive architecture in response to environmental conditions and stresses. This biomorphic approach will initiate a pioneering effort in mechatronics and electric actuation system design. System efficiencies and weapon system performance envelopes will be approached and re-examined with a novel concept of operations and design, endeavoring to seek out the competitive advantage for the war fighter and domestic commercial applications.
