In Japan, the development of fully superconducting propulsion systems for aircrafts have been conducted as a NEDO project. The target is a 20 MW propulsion system for an aircraft with 100-200 passengers. It is planned to be composed of 2 10-MW fully superconducting generators, 10 2-MW fully superconducting motors, superconducting cables, inverters which operate at liquid nitrogen (LN2)...

Due to aviation’s appreciable and growing share of humanity’s impact on our environment and estimates that CO2 emissions only account for 34% of aviation’s total effective radiative forcing [1], there is a need to reach beyond climate goals that focus only on CO2 emissions, such as the US Aviation Climate Action Plan’s [2] goal to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. There is motivation to...
