The latest electric motor will make the aircraft industry of the Russian Federation inaccessible to the West

As part of the MAKS-2019 air show, SuperOx introduced a prototype of the latest high-power electric motor created using superconductors. This technology, according to the director of the enterprise - the developer, Sergey Samoilenkov, will allow Russia to significantly get ahead of its western competitors.





The domestic innovative unit, developed by order of the “Advanced Research Foundation”, will be tested at the flying laboratory next year. At the same time, the last generation European aircraft electric motor (without superconductors) will only be tested in 2021-2022.

As the functionary stated to the agency RIA NewsThe use of superconductors allows the creation of large power units. At the same time, their mass and size are much smaller than that of conventional aircraft engines with similar characteristics.

New materials do not have electrical resistance, which can significantly increase the energy efficiency of such power plants. According to Samoilenkov, the unit developed by SuperOx is able to reduce fuel consumption from 15% to a record 75%. At the same time, the noise level and the amount of harmful emissions will be reduced by the same amount. Ultimately, domestic electric motors can forever change the civil aviation market.

At the moment, several finished units are undergoing bench tests. Next year, the power plant will be tested at the Yak-40 flying laboratory. Typically, the engine will be installed in the bow of the aircraft, leaving the standard units in place. This approach will allow you to experience innovative development in different modes.

Among other things, Sergey Samoilenkov emphasized that the new power plant can be powered by batteries, as well as electric generators or fuel cells. Two of these engines are capable of providing thrust for an aircraft designed for 20 passengers. At the same time, the development of one innovative unit was almost 10 times cheaper than a traditional aircraft engine.

    Another breakthrough? It seems that April 1 is far away ... and the form, rather, for a drilling rig ... could not do without mushrooms.

    To ensure superconductivity, a low temperature is needed, i.e. cooler. And if these figures are given taking into account the energy costs of maintaining a low temperature and the dimensions of the cooler, then this is a breakthrough. Although a breakthrough is still possible without involving the effect of superconductivity. There are prerequisites for this - they are embedded in Maxwell's equations, however, in a different form of representation, expanded. The abandonment of the traditional manufacturing technology along with the integrated control system will really make a breakthrough and create a new generation of electric motors that combine the best properties of synchronous and asynchronous machines. It promises ease of control in conjunction with small overall dimensions, which makes this class of electric motors indispensable in electric propulsion systems for all elements. To confirm or refute this, experimental research is needed, as they say - the devil is in the details. So, it's up to you to start.

      On top and so cold. I understand that it is necessary to cool it forcibly only on take-off and landing, and even then, the incoming air greatly facilitates the task ... especially in Russian climatic conditions.

      The fact of the matter is that superconductivity in different alloys arises at different temperatures (so far very low). BUT theoretically !!!! - possible alloy with superconductivity at ordinary temperature.

    No, no, not that! You have already made the living standards of Russians UNRATCHED to the living standards of the West, and not only the West, but ALMOST the whole WORLD! FOREVER! We don't need another raising of the retirement age! After all, from the CAPITALISTS - NEGODYAEV, you "HESITATE" to take money for the Defense of the Motherland! Take only from UNROOFED citizens of RUSSIA! No! Not THIS!

      This West is beyond the reach of Russia in terms of retirement age. It begins with 70 years ...

      Well, if everything is so bad, get out of here over a hill, take a tablecloth and take Medvedev with you - you will harm together, but there.

    Not our market will change, not ours. As usual, they will sell the development over the hill and already they will sell us engines. First time or something ...
