Abstract
With the increasing focus on sustainable development and environmental preservation, the aviation industry has been exploring innovative solutions, such as more electric aircraft (MEA), to shape the future of air transportation. Among the various machines used in MEA, switched reluctance machines (SRMs) have gained significant attention due to their high reliability and excellent characteristics at high speeds. Delving into the forefront of SRM technologies, this article has summarized the advanced machine design, control strategies, fault diagnosis, and tolerant techniques, and the challenges of SRMs within the context of MEA. This article can provide resources for a deeper understanding of the latest developments in the technologies of SRM and help promote the application and development of SRM in the MEA field.
