This paper proposes novel enhancements to the electric propulsion system analysis method for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft conceptual design by considering the electrical characteristics of each electrical device in a more accurate manner. To this end, three modules for motor, inverter, and battery analysis are constructed using equivalent circuits and semi-empirical models. First, the motor analysis module is developed using equivalent circuit analysis with the operation control strategy for a permanent-magnet synchronous motor. Second, the inverter analysis module is built using average loss models for the switching and conduction losses. Third, the battery analysis module is improved using the near-linear discharge model to consider the voltage drop during operation. Moreover, additional modules, such as those for calculating the battery stack in series and parallel, as well as regression models for the motor and inverter performance parameters and consideration of the drive system type (direct or indirect, including a reduction gear), are implemented. A comparative study is presented from an analysis and design perspective while changing the drive system type (direct or indirect) and gear ratio, which highlights the importance of modeling electrical characteristics during eVTOL aircraft conceptual design.
