Electric Helicopter Transmission
Long, ago (about 30 years) I remember reading one of best helicopter theory book in French from P. Lefort. The was making the point that in the future Electric Transmission would become the most prevalent technology. That was a bold forecast knowing the state of the technology at that time. Today with the way technology has evolved (hybrid cars), is that such a bold idea?,
you have the Tesla power train outputting above 700Hp on electric alone.
you have every single F1 engine package using some electric boost.
Could it be a used as an emergency 1 minute power source?
Could it be integrated into the transmission-hub it-self?
Could it make things like the Pearl Harbor accident more manageable?
The light comes on, you have 1 minute of electric power regardless of broken power shaft.
