Practice:
Careful attention is given to the specific application of electric motors for aerospace applications when selecting motor type. The following factors are considered in electric motor design: application, environment, thermal, efficiency, weight, volume, life, complexity, torque, speed, torque ripple, power source, envelope, duty cycle, and controllability. Brushless direct current motors have been proven to be the best all-around type of motors for aerospace applications because of their long life, high torque, high efficiency, and low heat dissipation.
