Design of a test rig for experimental Determination of Repulsion Force Generated by Magnetic Eddy Current Brake for Aircraft Applications

百年将与航空航天初创公司AeroFlux合作，开发磁性飞机刹车，为商务、通勤和商用飞机提供无摩擦和几乎无磨损的刹车。在这个项目中，百年公司的研究人员将设计一个测试装置来模拟和测量导电表面和构成涡流刹车的磁阵之间的排斥力，用于飞机刹车。实验结果将使人们更好地了解这种排斥力的大小，这无疑将使AeroFlux能够改进其技术，使整个航空航天部门进一步受益。与目前广泛使用的相当浪费的传统摩擦刹车相比，这些刹车的可持续性质将显示出它们的价值，为该行业带来环境和经济利益。

Centennial will collaborate with Aeroflux, an aerospace start-up developing magnetic aircraft brakes that provide frictionless and virtually wear-free braking on business, commuter, and commercial aircraft. With this project, Centennial researchers will design a testing rig to simulate and measure the repulsive force experienced between a conductive surface and a magnetic array that constitutes an eddy current brake to be used to provide aircraft braking. The experiment results would provide a greater understanding of the magnitude of this repulsion force, which undoubtedly will enable Aeroflux to refine its technology to benefit further the entire aerospace sector. The sustainable nature of these brakes would show their worth compared to the rather wasteful conventional friction brakes widely in use today, bringing environmental and financial benefits to the industry.
