Achieving a More Electric Aircraft: a comparative study between the concurrent and traditional engineering models
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents a model of concurrent engineering implemented in the life cycle of an electric motor as part of an electric aircraft with major advantages over traditional engineering. The paper also shows the 2D modeling of the electric motor using the FEMM program. The results of 2D modeling will be additionally used to the electromagnetic design of the electric motor. ENOVIA, a PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software product for project management and engineering processes that integrates other 2D / 3D design software will also be used to implement concurrent engineering.

Case Study regarding the test of the new screw compressor with high delivery pressure - 45 bara - on the test bench (with air)
Screw compressors, which are part of positive displacement compressors, can find an increasing use in gas industry and beyond due to their advantages. Maximal parameters of these devices, done by Comoti under GHH-Rand li...
The Multipoint Global Shape Optimization of Flying Configuration with Movable Leading Edges Flaps
The aerodynamical global optimized (GO) shape of flying configuration (FC), at two cruising Mach numbers, can be realized by morphing. Movable leading edge flaps are used for this purpose. The equations of the surfaces o...
Solid Topology Optimization Using Truss Lattices
This paper presents the development, results and conclusions obtained with a solid topology optimization code, using truss lattices as an alternative to continuum elements. Truss elements are used for the simplicity of t...
Investigation and design of a C-Wing passenger aircraft
A novel nonplanar wing concept called C-Wing is studied and implemented on a commercial aircraft to reduce induced drag which has a significant effect on fuel consumption. A preliminary sizing method which employs an opt...
