High Torque High Efficiency WARP Motor Design for use in Leading Edge Flap Systems

A motor drive actuation system with integrated transmission has been proposed for study and application to electric flap actuation and other high torque low rpm range applications. A new technology is introduced in this proposal with technical and scientific discourse expanding on the fundamental physics of the technology and the extensibility of the subject technology to systems with power densities > than 35KW/L. A solution for F-18 flap actuation is offered for study with a detailed conceptual approach addressing function, challenges and risk mitigation strategies.BENEFITS: The technology proposed and developed will have the ability to replace hydraulics and pneumatics in a range of aerospace, maritime, land vehicle and process control applications. The technology will provide eclectic actuation at a torque density with a form factors previous unavailable. These benefits will affect future systems design and electrification efforts.
