Ducted fan motors play a crucial role in promoting various applications of flying electric vehicles. In ducted fan motor systems, motor performance affects the speed of the fan, the flow field of the fan affects the thermal field of the motor, and the thermal field influences the performance of the motor. The coupling model between fan static thrust, motor power, and motor temperature rise is established in this paper. After confirming the external dimensions of the motor, three cooling schemes of the motor casing are designed. The casing forms are as follows: model 1 with smooth surface, model 2 with circular fins, and model 3 with longitudinal fins. The optimization work was carried out on the geometric dimensions of two types of fins for model 2 and model 3, and the static thrust and heat transfer performance of the motors were calculated. This study proposes that the ratio of thrust-to-temperature rise is an indicator for future optimization design of ducted fan motors. Model 3 with longitudinal fins has a higher thrust-to-temperature rise ratio. The thrust temperature rise in model 3 has increased by 24.77% compared to model 1.
