Project objective
Development of a simulation platform for electric drive systems for aircraft with superconducting components.
The project extends the existing simulations to include a very attractive future application of electric flight. In detail, the benefits for us result from the extended simulation possibilities:
- Combined thermal simulation of the cooling fluid (liquid nitrogen or liquid hydrogen) in the individual components and in a cooling channel of the superconducting electric drive system.
- Modeling of flight missions in normal operation. (Long h time frame)
- Modeling of critical situations for the electric propulsion systems and failures of individual components. (Short ms time frame)
