As the electrification process of aircrafts continues to advance, the propulsion motor system, as its core component, has received more attention and research. This paper summarizes and analyzes the development status, research focus and typical cases in this field in recent years. Firstly, it analyzes the basic structure and principle of five common motors, summarizes the current status of their respective applications in electric aircrafts, and compares them to determine the most suitable type of motor for use as a propulsion motor, focusing on various performance indexes. Then, the optimized design of propulsion motors is generally divided into two categories, namely high power density and fault tolerance. Starting from the basic relationship equation of motor design, the basic method to improve the power density of motors is pointed out; at the same time, according to the basic principles and objectives of the fault tolerance of motors, the fault tolerance design is divided into two aspects, namely the redundant design and the design to improve the fault tolerance capability. Finally, this paper summarizes the current development status of the propulsion motor system and the existing problems and points out the main development direction of this field in the future, so as to provide reference for the further development of the electric propulsion system of aircraft.

“…So far, many researchers, designers and manufacturers have also studied three phase PMSMs. However, compared to the six phase PMSMs, these motors are still limitations for the torque and efficiency (6). In order to improve the performance and reliability of these machines, a sixphase PMSM has been proposed to use in applications demanding the high torque, efficiency and reliability.…”

“…They were also compared to the traditional six-phase PMSM. Del Pizzo et al (6) explored two potential electric propulsion motor solutions for unmanned aerial vehicles. It involves a comparison of the sizes, weights, and certain characteristics between a three-phase PMSM and a sixphase motor achieved through a suitable rewinding of the armature, while maintaining fixed stator and rotor magnetic circuits.…”

A multi-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) has applied popularly in the field of industry (e.g. trucks, ship propulsion, mining, etc) due to its high torque, efficiency and reliable operation. So far, many researchers have studied the multi-phase PMSM (e.g, a three-phase PMSM, a six-phase PMSM) for electric vehicle applications. But, there are still significant limitations in the quantity of research on the six-phase PMSMs. Particularly, when researching this type of motor, authors mainly have provided specifications of the six-phase PMSMs and then conducted experiments on these machines without giving the detailed formulations to analytically compute and design dimensions and electromagnetic parameters. In this research, an analytic model is first developed to determine the main parameters of a six-phase surface-mounted PMSM (SPMSM). The finite element method (FEM) is then introduced to simulate and compute electromagnetic parameters, such as the current waveform, back electromotive force (EMF), flux density distribution, output torque, cogging torque, torque ripple and harmonic components. The development of proposed methods is applied on a practical problem of a sixphase SPMSM of 7.5kW.
