Recently, there has been a growing interest in reducing the number or replacing the hydraulic/pneumatic actuators utilised on aircraft with electric actuators coupled to mechanical gears, which would improve the reliability and performance. This is involved in the concept of more electric aircraft. The electrification of actuators would affect the primary and secondary flight controls, as well as the movement of flight surfaces, retraction of the landing gear, and steering of the nose landing gear, which is also considered in this study. This study considers the design of a multiphase permanent-magnet (PM) motor to be utilised for the electric steering of a commercial aircraft nose landing gear. This multiphase motor would make it possible to achieve a highly reliable actuator and, coupled with a harmonic drive, avoid the use of a multi-motor configuration. Moreover, a multiphase motor would increase the power density and efficiency of the actuator, through improving the torque ripple. The performance variation due to temperature swings is considered, and a design procedure for the PM motor is described using the worse operation case for the electric actuator. The adequate performance of the designed motor and actuator is demonstrated by means of a finite element analysis.
