Technology Demonstration of a Megawatt-Class Integrated Motor Drive for Aircraft Propulsion

An integrated compressor-generator concept, in which the electromagnetic rotor elements of a generator share a common rotor structure with the blades of the Low Pressure Compressor (LPC), is proposed as an approach to integrating megawatt-scale generators with a gas turbine. The benefits of this con...
