An Electromagnetic Fixed-Wing UAV Launch System Based on Long Primary Double Side Linear Induction Motor

Oussama Zemaiche

This paper describes the basic design and simulation using ANSYS Maxwell of double side long primary linear induction motor for fix wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Choices of the basic structure and dimensions are presented and the motor has been designed with an emphasis on easy assembly, high thrust, high efficiency and high power factor. The results of the simulation on ANSYS Maxwell software will be revealed and discussed. In addition, the advantages of the linear induction motor are lower losses, simple control and simpler cooling.
