Abstract

An integrated hybrid electric power generation system for producing jet thrust, a superconducting direct drive turbine ring motor for vertical lift, multi-megawatt electric current generation and a pulse-phased high power directed energy weapon (DEW). The system is managed electrically, and may be mated directly to a magnetic aerodynamic generation of rotorhead optimized control as a direct drive electric lift-jet thrust rotorcraft system (DDELJTRS) manifesting an all flight managed controls and weaponized electric system in rotorcraft, vertical lift, aerodynamic flight control, directed energy weapon and jet propulsion for forward flight high speed cruise.

Claims (5)

1. An electromagnetic rotorcraft lift system comprising:

a. an electromagnetic swashplateless rotorhead including a plurality of rotorblades, each of the plurality of rotorblades having a corresponding set of permanent magnets with one permanent magnet lying in parallel to a leading edge root of the rotorblade and one permanent magnet lying in parallel to a trailing edge root of the rotorblade;

b. a superconducting ring motor coupled to the rotorhead, the superconducting ring motor including a Hallbach array; and

c. a segmented magnetic shaft gas turbine engine coupled to the motor, wherein the segmented magnetic shaft gas turbine engine includes one or more superconducting ring generators.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the segmented magnetic shaft gas turbine engine may be used to produce electricity.
