Description
The HPDM-30 is a ultra high power density 30kW integrated motor drive (IMD) for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and Small Aircraft Electric Propulsion. It combines the motor and inverter into a single unit and utilizes the same advanced core technology developed for H3X's flagship product, the HPDM-250. H3X is targeting a combined motor/inverter efficiency of 93% and a continuous specific power of 10 kW/kg, making it 3X more power dense than anything else commercially available. The goal of this Phase II proposal is to manufacture a full-scale HPDM-30 prototype in order to perform functional testing, performance characterization, and baseline environmental testing of the full IMD system.
