Weight minimization of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft: From the comprehensive powertrain perspective

This paper proposes a conceptual design optimization method for the powertrain of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The converter selection, semiconductor device selection, inductor design, capacitor selection, and thermal management design are discussed. The detailed analysis...
