航空機推進用外周駆動ファンに関する実験および解析

抄録

An experimental and analytical investigation for a newly proposed electromagnetic-driven fan concept is described. Environmental friendliness in aviation is a key feature in the development of future air-breathing engines, and a desirable technology to be introduced is an electromagnetic motion fan system, because it will tremendously reduce the total operating emission, reduce weight, increase maintainability and increase energy efficiency. The proposed fan concept has a potential to satisfy the requirements and also possess many other applications such as vector thrust operation. The present paper shows the result of the testing of a concept verification model and the result revealed the importance of the controlling parameters to produce efficient power transmission. The accompanying analytical result further explains the motion mechanisms and gives suggestions for the novel design of the fan system.
