With a total budget of nearly €5 million, the European project HYPERWIN – HYdrogen-powered suPErconducting motoR Windings for zero-emission aIrcraft propulsioN has been selected under the Clean Aviation programme.

Its objective is to develop and validate AC stator windings based on high-temperature superconductors (HTS) for future high-power electric motors for hydrogen-electric aviation. HTS technology offers the potential for lighter, more compact and highly efficient electrical machines, while liquid hydrogen provides a cryogenic environment favourable to their integration.
