Benefícios dos eletromotores na aviação

Abstract

Throughout the human society history, the continuous effort for the pursuit of well-being is identified. The development of technologies in the means of transport is part of this context, aiming to provide more safety, agility, and comfort. However, some trends may prove to be wrong and need to be rethought and corrected, especially when it comes to impact environment and, consequently, the human existence. This research is carried out in this context of needing to preserve the environment as it is dedicated to the analysis of climatic conditions identified in various global entities’ studies and of aviation contribution to the current degraded scenario and its possible solutions. Regarding scientific classification, this article is a basic nature one, with exploratory objective and qualitative and quantitative approaches, as, in addition to presenting the fundamentals related to the theme, it sought environmental data under discussion in numbers and graphs today, by consulting books, theses, articles and scientific projects adopting, therefore, bibliographic research procedures. Considering the search for solutions in order to reduce the environmental degradation process in aviation field, the research shows how electromotors in the aeronautical environment can mitigate toxic gas emissions that increases the greenhouse effect. The benefits of using these electric engines, their functioning and their applications are mentioned, and comparisons with conventional engines used in aviation are made. The interest of large manufacturers and future and ongoing projects are also evidenced in the research. It should be noted that the study of electromotors is an object of physics and chemistry areas, making a basic understanding of these concepts necessary in order to understand the whole. The electric motors' use in aviation is still incipient, however, there are numerous projects for the development of 100% electric or hybrid aircraft that need to overcome some obstacles that are also addressed in this study. Important institutions related to the theme have joined together to offer cooperation in the development processes of electric thrusters, which have been a recurrent agenda at world meetings, in response to the UN proposal regarding the future of the planet, in order to ensure its use for current and future generations.
