Question Diversion from the thread



Graviman,

In the thread 'Future rotorcraft control systems' the question was;
"Why could not a reasonably large diameter, linear induction disk motor be an integral part of a special rotor hub...?"

Your reply was;
"Why not, but aerospace motors and generators run at 80'000 rpm regardless of shape. Any less and you are just introducing unecessary weight."


In this thread you say.
"Best power/weight is using NdFeB magnet technology, in a disk motor to reduce the iron reluctance circuit mass."
