Minimization of electro-mechanical interaction with posicast strategies for more-electric aircraft applications (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ahumada, C., Garvey, S. D., Yang, T., Kulsangcharoen, P., Wheeler, P., & Morvan, H. Minimization of electro-mechanical interaction with posicast strategies for more-electric aircraft applications. Presented at 42nd Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IECON 2016)

This paper studies strategies to minimize the electromechanical interaction (EMI) within aircraft power systems. With the growth of electrical power on-board aircraft, the interaction between the electrical systems and the engine core will become sig...

Design study and scaled experiment of induction and synchronous motor for civil application of electromagnetic aircraft launch system (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bertola, L., Cox, T., Wheeler, P., Garvey, S. D., & Morvan, H. Design study and scaled experiment of induction and synchronous motor for civil application of electromagnetic aircraft launch system. Presented at 18th Electromagnetic Launch Technology Symposium (EML)

The engine size of modern passenger transport aircraft is principally determined by take-off conditions, since initial acceleration requires maximum engine power. An Electromagnetic Launch (EML) system could provide some or all of the energy required...

Superconducting electromagnetic launch system for civil aircraft (2016)
Journal Article
Bertola, L., Cox, T., Wheeler, P., Garvey, S. D., & Morvan, H. (2016). Superconducting electromagnetic launch system for civil aircraft. IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, 26(8), https://doi.org/10.1109/TASC.2016.2598772

This paper considers the feasibility of different superconducting technologies for electromagnetic launch (EML) to assist civil aircraft take-off. EML has the potential of reducing the required runway length by increasing aircraft acceleration. Expen... Read More about Superconducting electromagnetic launch system for civil aircraft.
