Considerations of DC / AC Eddy Current Brake Using Clad Material for Aircraft

Abstract

The energy saving demand for aircraft is increasing year by year. Along with this, there are concerns about CO2 emissions from aircraft. Therefore, the electrification of aircraft is being promoted worldwide. This study, describes eddy current brakes for aircraft. The braking torque of eddy current brakes is also described. The braking torque increased using a clad material made of Cu and SPCC rather than a single Cu material. Furthermore, the braking torque decreased as the ratio of the DC voltage increased.
