Abstract

Prospective higher power, high-voltage electric power generation systems for aircraft application, based on direct-drive synchronous generators with permanent magnet and electromagnetic excitation are considered. Higher power generator design schemes for variable frequency and direct current power supply systems are proposed and justified. Results of electromagnetic and structural studies of aircraft electric generators for prospective electric power supply systems are given. Comparative study of different designs of electric generators has been conducted.
