The demand for alternative fueling methods to reduce the need for fossil fuels is not limited
to the electrification of ground vehicles. More-electric and all-electric aircraft pose
challenges, with extensive requirements in terms of power density, efficiency, safety, and
environmental sustainability. This paper focuses on electrical machines and their
components, especially for high-power applications like the main propulsion. The electrical
machine is evaluated from different aspects, followed by a closer look at the components …
