Impact of Current Density and Cooling on the Weight Balance of Electrical Propulsion Drives for Aviation

Through applying an exemplary design study, the dependencies between current density, temperatures, and weight in an electrical drive system for a small range aircraft with conventional electrical fan or propeller drives are evaluated. This study applies a combined numerical (Finite Element Method F...
