AI Contract Overview

This NASA SBIR solicitation, titled Less Iron and More Switches Increase Range, focuses on enhancing the efficiency and power density of electric propulsion systems for small aircraft, specifically targeting the X-57 cruise motors. The project aims to improve upon current prototype metrics by implementing rigid windings formed in situ to increase slot fill and utilizing a 99.5 percent efficient inverter featuring massively parallel, wide bandgap power switches. This scalable design separates the inverter into independent brains and brawn sections, allowing for distribution within the motor case to improve fault tolerance and thermal integration, which is expected to result in an effective range enhancement of approximately 8 percent. The primary objective is to demonstrate low loss winding and inverter designs at a scale equivalent to X-57 propulsors. Key work activities include dyno testing a second iteration of a 650V distributed inverter, a five inch 20kw plate wound dual star motor, and a rewound NASA prototype X-57 cruise motor. Deliverables for the project include a complete X-57 high lift motor propulsion element, a cruise motor with improved windings, dyno test reports, quarterly reports, and a final report with SF298. This technology is intended for applications ranging from 10 to 100kW, making it relevant for main propulsion, electric actuation, and auxiliary drives within the aerospace and military sectors.

Full Description

Current prototype motors and inverters for small aircraft electric propulsion have impressive efficiency of about 95 and 97% and typical power density of a little over 2kw/kg and 5kw/kg respectively. We can improve each of these metrics with a rigid winding which is formed in situ to increase slot fill and a 99.5% efficient inverter based on massively parallel, wide bandgap power switches. With independent Brains and Brawn sections, the inverter is scalable and can be distributed within the motor case, allowing fault tolerance and thermal integration benefits. The reduced weight and cooling needs represent an effective range enhancement of about 8% when configured for the X-57 cruise motors.
