Switched/Synchronous Reluctance Magnet-free Motors for Electric Vehicles (VENUS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
"For a large scale introduction of Electric Vehicles (EV) in Europe, adequate volume supply of current PM based motors could be at risk, as the rare earth metals they contain can only be found under single source monopolies. In this context, the development of high efficiency motors using a limited amount of permanent magnets or completely new magnet-free motor designs is crucial. A promising opti ...

"Electrical Tail Drive - Modelling, Simulation and Rig Prototype Development" (ELETAD)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
"The research programme will capitalise on the most recent advances in electrical machine technologies, thermal modelling, design optimisation and manufacturing processes to realise and evaluate a full-scale helicopter electric tail rotor (ETR) motor that is engineered for flight-critical operation and is representative of an aircraft installation. A direct drive ETR solution will be optimised ag ...

Helicopter Electric Regenerative Rotor Brake (HERRB)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
"The proposal outlines a design process coupled with a full evaluation and testing phase for a fully electric replacement for the current mechanical-hydraulic rotor brake system that exists on most large rotorcraft in production currently allow regenerative capture of the inertial energy stored in the aircraft drivetrain during deceleration.The concept offers further potential alongside other simi ...
