Abstract: 

ASuMED (Advanced Superconducting Motor Experimental Demonstrator) project aims at the development, construction and testing of the first fully superconductive motor for aerospace applications. Currently the construction of the motor is finished and it will be tested soon. Its rotor contains stacks of HTS tapes which, after magnetisation, will serve as semi-permanent magnets. The stacks were designed and manufactured as the contribution from University of Cambridge towards the project.
During the seminar an overview of the project will be presented, along with the details on the stacks design, manufacturing and characterisation. Challenges connected with the application of highly anisotropic superconducting structures in an electric motor will be shown, with special focus on heat removal. The presentation also contains the description of the demagnetisation problem and possible mitigation methods. The obtained results encourage further development of the stack technology and are a step forward towards a fully electric airplane.
