Electrifying Aviation Propulsion Systems – Student Colloquium

Electrified propulsion systems are becoming increasingly popular, especially in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), because of their simpler structure and greater maneuverability compared to traditional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) systems. This talk will begin with an overview of typical UAV electrified propulsion architectures and then zoom in on the motor–inverter system, discussing how it is designed, controlled, and improved with recent advancements. The goal is to provide a clear understanding of how modern electrified propulsion is shaping the future of aircraft.
