Abstract

This paper discusses the design and testing of an aircraft electric fuel pump drive. The drive is a modular, four-phase, fault-tolerant system which is designed to meet the specification with a fault in any one of the phases. The motor employed has a permanent-magnet rotor with the magnets arranged in a Halbach array to maximize the air-gap flux density. Exceptionally high electric loadings are obtained by flooding the entire motor with aircraft fuel, which acts as an excellent cooling agent. Theoretical results are compared with test results gained in conditions approaching those found in an aircraft. Tests are carried out on the unfaulted drive and with one of several fault scenarios imposed. The electrical and thermal performance of the drive is assessed, showing how the flooded fuel cooling has excellent performance without introducing significant drag on the rotor.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
