NASA's X-57 all-electric aircraft was a research project aimed at investigating lightweight and efficient electric propulsion components. The general approach was to utilize a distributed electric propulsion (DEP) design. An essential component of this design was the High Lift Motor Controller (HLMC), a motor drive which provided power to the High Lift Motors (HLMs) and High Lift Propellers (HLPs) responsible for providing additional thrust for take-off and landing. This paper presents the detailed design, test results, and outcomes from the development of the HLMC, a 14 kW, 1kg, 98.3% efficient, outer mold line (OML) cooled, silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET-based inverter and controller.
