Abstract

This article introduces the potential use of superconductivity in cryo-electrified aircraft as the aviation industry and governments move toward zero-emissions environmental targets. It outlines the different electrical insulating materials and discusses potential advantages and disadvantages for cryogenic superconducting applications.
