LaunchPoint Adds Patent for High Power-Density Motors
LaunchPoint at Forefront of the Global Electrification of Aviation
•
GOLETA, California – JUNE 25, 2024 – LaunchPoint Electric Propulsion Solutions, Inc. (“LaunchPoint”), a pioneer in advanced aerospace electric power generation and propulsion technologies, announced today the grants of US Patent 11,955,845 B2 “AXIAL FLUX ELECTRICAL MACHINE ROTOR WITH MAGNET RETENTION DEVICE” and US Patent US 11,750,054 B2 “MODULATED LITZ WIRE CONSTRUCTION FOR HIGH POWER-DENSITY MOTORS.”
These patents are significant milestones in LaunchPoint’s decades-long mission to revolutionize electric flight with novel designs built from the ground up for power density and reliability.
At their core, these patented design features enable systems engineered to deliver innovative, power-dense, efficient, and reliable propulsion and power generation for electric aircraft. These systems support a wide range of onboard applications, driving rotors and propellers for lift and thrust. The technology also has significant applications in powering pumps and compressors for thermal management systems, hydraulic pumps, and actuators on commercial and combat aircraft platforms, unmanned systems, and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles.
“These newest patents are a testament to our team’s focus on continued innovation.” Said Brian Clark, EVP of Engineering and Business Development at Launch Point. “These patents are critically important to us because they detail design embodiments that unlock additional performance and reliability for LaunchPoint’s already extremely reliable and power-dense systems.”
