Design of a High Specific Power Electric Machine for Turboelectric Propulsion

The benefits of turboelectric propulsion for aviation, in which a gas generator core electrically drives motor-powered propulsors, are limited by the mass and losses of the electric components introduced into the drivetrain. These propulsion systems are predicted to result in a 15\% fuel savings pro...
