Keynote Speech: Electrification of Flying Vehicles and Aircrafts
Abstract: The electrification of flying vehicles and aircraft is increasing. Many innovations and technological advancements are happening to develop full electric architectures where batteries, fuel cells, etc., can be used to propel the aircraft. Power density and fault redundancy are critical for aerospace applications. Using better materials such as high-density permanent magnets, better steel alloys for electric machines, and wide bandgap devices for power electronics are essential for power density. In this presentation, Prof. Sarlioglu will present the latest advancements related to electrical systems for the propulsion of flying vehicles and airplanes. Various architectures, such as series and hybrid systems, will be reviewed, along with the challenges and opportunities of electric machines and power electronics.
