Feasibility study of an induction motor rim drive for an aircraft boundary-layer-ingestion fan
This study presents a feasibility study for an induction motor rim drive to power aircraft boundary-layer-ingestion (BLI) fans.The design is developed from a BLI-fan specification for traditional aircraft architecture: the rotor is fastened to the rim of Sunglasses the blade shroud, not to obstruct the fan duct and interfere with the air flow.The m
