- This research, funded by the €34 EU Programme (ACTUATION2015–FP7-284915) and UTC Aerospace, concerns the “more electric aircraft”; aiming to increase aircraft efficiency by replacing hydraulic and pneumatic with electrical systems, which have hitherto been too unreliable. This work focusses on nose wheel steering systems and introduces a new machine topology with a 68% reduction in magnet mass and superior fault tolerant performance compared to the current state of the art. This work leads to a new PhD studentships and informs the manufacturing challenges investigated in the £28M EPSRC Future Electrical Machines Manufacturing Hub (Grant Ref: EP/S018034/1).
