In some aerospace applications you need high voltages in the range of kilovolts. This is commonly supplied by transformers. However, transformers because of their iron cores are heavy. But in aerospace being lightweight is a key requirement.
In the thread "Question about power capacity of electrical motors", I noted that high current density wires could improve the power to weight ratio of electric motors.
The same question pertains to transformers: could high current density wires improve the power level rating of transformers in relation to their weight?
