Cool Running DC UAV Motors

From ThinGap LLC
 

 
Using an electric motor to power the Inventus E, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), requires system component optimization, including motor efficiency, battery power and weight and thermal loading. When we first started using electric drives motor failures were a problem. For three years, the best mean time between operational mission failure (MTBOMF) of the motors - was 15 hours of flight time, or about 15-20 flights. Most of the flights achieved a much lower MTBOMF of 3 or 4 hours. This meant we were unable to reach reliability targets with the geared brushless DC (BLDC) motors we had been evaluating. Finally, we began testing direct drive motors from ThinGap Corporation.
