This paper presents a concept design for the 5 MW generators on NASA’s SUSAN hybrid electric flight concept. The performance targets for this machine are 25 kW/kg and 99% efficiency. The concept design is a partially superconducting machine that builds on NASA’s past work on its High Efficiency Megawatt Motor (HEMM). A partially superconducting machine design tool is used to create a preliminary concept design capable of achieving the target specifications for the SUSAN generator. Higher fidelity design and analysis is applied to the preliminary design. After high fidelity analysis the machine is predicted to achieve 22.3 kW/kg and 99.1% efficiency. Lessons learned from this concept design will be incorporated in the next iteration of the machine.
