Design of a HTS 2 MW Electric Motor for Single-Aisle Regional Aircraft

This paper presents the design of a 2 MW superconducting electric machine capable of replacing a conventional regional aircraft turbine. The main objective of this work is to advance in the path towards the more-electric aircraft, by incorporating and assessing in the same design technologies such a...
