Minimum Performance Standard for Permanent-Magnet Propulsion Motors and Associated Variable-Speed Drives
AS8441
Technical requirements especially related to the design and construction and the minimum performance requirements (including qualification test conditions) for PM motors and power converters (operated as VFDs) used as the prime mover for more-electric, hybrid-electric, and fully-electric aircraft propulsion systems.
Rationale: Hybrid-electric and fully electric aircraft are currently under development by multiple suppliers and there exists no MPS for an electrically-driven propulsion system or specific components (PM motor and VFD) that could support a path to flight certification.
