Expected long term effects

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Project results have been published at conferences, e.g. ICAS 2022 in Stockholm. Input to the numerical and experimental studies within the framework of this project has been based on aircraft engine concepts for civil future aircraft engines developed by GKN. An important outcome of the project is an increased understanding of the potential of integrating electric machines in future aircraft engines and what gains this can bring in the form of reduced fuel consumption but also challenges and limitations related to the aircraft engine environment.

Approach and implementation

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The work has progressed according to the project plan. Both digital and physical meetings between the project´s participants have been applied. During the pandemic and the restrictions that followed, digital meetings were an appropriate way to meet. GKN has during the project delivered data for studies of the integration of electric machines into future aircraft engines. Detailed results from studies and experiments regarding electric machines and their limitations have been fed back into motor system models for evaluation.
