Special Session SS02

High-Performance and Fault-Tolerant Electric Machines and Drives for Future Electrified Aviation

---

Introduction:

The global aviation industry is undergoing a transformative shift toward electrification, driven by stringent emission-reduction targets and the pursuit of sustainable transportation. More-electric aircraft (MEA) and all-electric aircraft (AEA) are central to achieving net-zero aviation by mid-century. This transition demands electric machines and drive systems that not only deliver high efficiency and performance but also meet the rigorous and unique requirements of aerospace applications—including high power density, exceptional reliability, lightweight design, fault-tolerant operation, and resilience under harsh environmental conditions. This Special Session aims to spotlight cutting-edge research and engineering innovations in high-reliability, high-efficiency electric machines and drive systems tailored for next-generation MEA and AEA. Topics include, but are not limited to:
1. More-electric aircraft (MEA);
2. All-electric aircraft (AEA);
3. High-reliability drive systems;
4. Fault-tolerant electric machines control;
5. Aviation power electronics;
6. Thermal management for aerospace electric machines and drives;
7. Electric propulsion integration;
8. Lightweight electric machines design;
9. EMI/EMC in aviation electrification;
10. Electric machines with advanced materials, such as superconductors, and high performance ferromagnetic materials.
We invite original contributions from researchers, engineers, and industry practitioners to share theoretical advancements, experimental validations, and practical case studies that address the unique challenges of aviation electrification. Submitted papers should emphasize innovation and relevance to the development of robust, efficient, and certifiable electric drive systems for the future of flight.
