Research abstract
Wright Electric seeks to develop the next generation of all-electric vehicle through the
innovative design of engine systems that use cutting edge innovations in integrated cooling,
power electronics and rotor design. The innovative design will create a higher efficiency, higher
performance motor without sacrificing safety or the use of existing manufacturing techniques.
Phase I of this project will create a detailed design and subcomponent testing of this system,
Phase II will build and demonstrate this system. The unique innovations across the electric
engine will enable Wright Electric to continue its path in development of novel aircraft flying
entirely on electric power.
