Permanent Magnet and Superconducting Generators in Airborne, High Power Systems.

Abstract

This report presents results of a study performed to compare airborne, high power supplies at power levels of 10 and 20 MW utilizing permanent magnet and superconducting generators. Algorithms for the weight and volume of these electrical generators are presented and algorithms for the other power supply components are used to predict total system weights for seven point designs at the two power levels.
