Abstract- Electric and hybrid electric aircraft require high performance and reliable electric motor drivetrains. These drivetrains, consisting of a motor, an inverter, a gearbox, and a thermal management system, are highly coupled systems where the design of individual components in the drivetrain will significantly affect the sizing and performance of the other components in the system. In this paper, a preliminary co-optimization tool for electric motor drivetrains for Urban Air Mobility vehicles is presented. An example study with the tool is completed for NASA’s RVLT quadrotor concept vehicle.
