Modeling of propeller electric airplane and thrust control using advantage of electric motor

Electrical airplanes (EAs) have become practical in the recent years. Considering the increase of demand on smaller aircraft and the attention to environmental issues, the demand on small EAs is expected to grow in the coming decade. However, the accident rate of small aircrafts is higher than that of larger aircrafts, so ensuring higher safety of EA is very urgent. In this paper, the new thrust control method based on new EA propeller plant is proposed. This method can be applied to new advanced flight control systems of EA, which can be expected to improve the safety of EA. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through simulations and experiments.
