Abstract
Power electronics and electric machines are critical components of efficient, high-performance aircraft - from fixed-wing turbine to electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft and beyond. Improvements to these components create enormous energy efficiencies, enable cost savings, and ensure fail-safe operations. National Renewable Energy Laboratory researchers are developing innovative power electronics, electric motors, integrated electric traction drives, and thermal management systems to build highly efficient, lightweight, ultrareliable powertrains for aircraft.
