The More-Electric Aircraft and Beyond

open access: yesProceedings of the IEEE, 2023
Aviation is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transportation sector. As the adoption of electric cars increases and GHG emissions due to other modes of transport decrease, the impact of air travel on environmental pollution has become even more significant.

Electric/Hybrid-Electric Aircraft Propulsion Systems

Proceedings of the IEEE, 2021
The idea of electric propulsion for transportation is not new; indeed, the first cars, nearly 200 years ago, were electric. However, our dependence on fossil fuels over the last 100 years is now being questioned, and as a global society, we are moving toward more-electric transportation solutions.

Aircraft electrical horizons

Electrical Engineering, 1944
AN ENGINEER needs a goal. In this respect he is no different from the follower of any other profession, art, or trade. Having a goal, every effort and project becomes a step in the final achievement. It is the purpose of this paper to suggest some goals which are on the horizon today.

Powerful charger for electric aircraft

IECON 2013 - 39th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, 2013
This work deals with a new conception of a powerful charger for electric aircraft VUT 001 MARABU. Its power output is 15 kW at a switching frequency of 100 kHz. This powerful charger was completely constructed and tested.

Advanced aircraft electrical systems to enable an All-Electric aircraft

2015 International Conference on Electrical Systems for Aircraft, Railway, Ship Propulsion and Road Vehicles (ESARS), 2015
Efficient power generation techniques used in a modern aircraft are described in the form of a High Voltage Variable Frequency Starter Generator. Its advantages in enabling an All-Electric aircraft are discussed. Machine Design aspects of such a system are obtained from detailed analysis of the output equation of a high speed rotating machine.

Electrically Driven Gyroscopes for Aircraft

Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1944
GYROSCOPIC instruments are given a place of prominence on the instrument panels of military and commercial aircraft. They are among the “most used” of all the instruments and are necessary for blind flight since they serve as stable references in space when natural objects are not visible.

Electric Drive for Aircraft

Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1947
The use of large amounts of power in aircraft becomes a power-handling problem; and electric transmission from the turbines mounted in the fuselage, to the propellers on the wings, has the same advantages as in handling very large amounts of power in industry.

Electric automatic pilots for aircraft

Electrical Engineering, 1944
AUTOMATIC pilots have been in use for many years in both commercial and military aircraft and are well suited to normal airplane control. Their greatest usefulness is in maintaining heading and attitude over long periods of time, with consequent reduction in strain on the human pilot.

Plastics in aircraft electricity

Electrical Engineering, 1944
SYNTHETIC organic plastics for electrical insulation represent one of the important contributions of the plastics industry to modern military and commercial aircraft. These materials for the most part are not used as substitutes for more suitable but scarce insulating materials, but have been selected because they possess superior mechanical and ...
