Design of a superconducting machine and its cooling system for an aeronautics application

The transition to electric propulsion aircraft requires electrical motors or generators with high power density. “zero resistivity” of the superconducting materials could be used in machines produce magnetic fields and reduce use heavy components such as ferromagnetic parts. discovery recent developments High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) technology make machine a serious candidate future aircraft. design is strongly dependent on its electromagnetic thermal behavior. In this paper, 50 kW generator presented. mass cryogenic cooling system included into order optimize entire system. study shows that choice temperature will depends input machine.
