[0002] With the increasing demand of the global aviation industry for reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency, aerospace electric propulsion technology has gradually become a key direction for future aviation development. Compared with traditional fuel propulsion systems, electric propulsion technology significantly reduces fuel consumption and pollutant emissions by introducing clean energy such as hydrogen energy and electric energy, while greatly improving energy utilization efficiency. Currently, aerospace propulsion technology is developing towards high power, high power density and low carbon to meet the power requirements of larger and heavier aircraft, while improving propulsion efficiency and flight performance. Therefore, the hydrogen-based aerospace electric propulsion system emerges as an ideal solution, driving the aviation industry towards a more environmentally friendly and efficient future.
[0003] The hydrogen-electric propulsion system mainly includes two propulsion methods: hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen turbine engines. Hydrogen fuel cells directly generate electric energy through the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, providing continuous and clean power for the electric propulsion system, which is suitable for medium and small power propulsion requirements; while hydrogen turbine engines drive turbines through hydrogen combustion to generate strong thrust, meeting the propulsion tasks of aircraft with high power requirements. With the increasing demand for higher power density and energy efficiency, the application of superconducting technology has become particularly important. Due to its extremely low resistance, superconducting materials can significantly reduce energy losses in high-power hydrogen-electric propulsion systems, improving the overall efficiency. The application of superconducting motors and cables not only reduces heat losses during power transmission, but also reduces the system weight, thereby further improving the performance and endurance of the aircraft.
[0004] The performance, energy efficiency and stability of high-power hydrogen-electric propulsion aircraft depend on the collaborative optimization of multiple key technologies. Parameter optimization is the key to ensuring that the system meets the performance requirements. By precisely optimizing key parameters such as the propulsion system, aerodynamic design and weight distribution, the best balance between thrust and energy efficiency can be achieved. The power distribution module dynamically adjusts the output of multiple power sources and energy sources during different flight phases, improving the dynamic performance and energy utilization efficiency of the aircraft, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the aircraft at each stage. However, high-power systems pose severe thermal management challenges under high-load operation. The system needs to precisely control the temperatures of hydrogen fuel cells, hydrogen turbine engines and superconducting components through efficient heat dissipation and heat recovery mechanisms, and flexibly adjust the cooling system according to different flight phases to ensure the safety of the system while operating efficiently. Therefore, there is an urgent need to significantly improve the overall performance of high-power hydrogen-electric propulsion systems through the collaborative design of parameter optimization, power distribution and comprehensive thermal management to meet the requirements of aircraft for high power density, energy efficiency and operation stability.
