Nanocrystalline Core Key to e-Aviation Motor from Kite Magnetics of Australia
An ultra-high efficiency nanocrystalline magnetic core is at the center of innovative motor for e-aviation from Kite Magnetics of Australia.
Combining novel nanocrystalline magnetic materials with advanced
manufacturing methods, research spinout Kite Magnetics
of Australia is developing electric motors and propulsion systems
for electric aircraft designed to enable them to fly further, carry
more and emit less. In quick succession after its spinout from
Monash University in 2022, Kite has secured $1.85 million in
venture funding to support its developments and formed an alliance
with H3 Dynamics of France to collaborate on developing
hydrogen-electric propulsion systems for aircraft.
Called Aeroperm, the technology was developed in 2018 by
researchers Professor Kiyonori Suzuki and Dr. Richard Parsons
with the engineering faculty at Monash. Aeroperm is a proprietary
magnetic material that involves combining novel nanocrystalline
magnetic materials with advanced manufacturing methods.
It enables electric motors and generators to be significantly
lighter and more efficient, exhibiting an energy loss 10 times less
than the magnetic materials used in conventional electric motors.
The research was commercialized by the university through
the formation of the spinout company, now headed by Parsons
as CEO. The company plans to build, test and manufacture its
motors from the ground up at their facility in Clayton, a suburb of
Melbourne where Monash has a campus.
" Kite Magnetics is a deep-tech hardware start-up developing the
technologies required for a new age of electric aviation, one that
is safer, quieter, significantly cheaper and emissions-free, " com28

Another motor developed by Kite Magnetics is the KM-60, a 60 kW
half-length variant of the KM-120 designed for smaller CTOL and
eVTOL aircraft

mented Parsons at the time of the venture funding. " Our electric
motors use a newly developed proprietary magnetic materials
technology that allows electric motors to be significantly lighter
and more efficient than anything available on the market today. "
Shown at top is Kite's KM-120 is a 120-kW air-cooled, direct
drive, radial flux electric propulsion solution featuring its
Aeroperm nanocrystalline stator core. Designed from the ground
up to meet the demands of CTOL and eVTOL aircraft, the KM120
can be delivered stand alone or as a complete propulsion
solution suitable to power a 4-seat electric aircraft.
