Abstract: A motor includes a stator unit, a rotor unit, and an anti-friction bearing unit. The stator unit includes a coil winding assembly. The rotor unit includes a permanent magnet assembly disposed to radially confront the coil winding assembly, and is rotatable relative to the stator unit as a result of electromagnetic forces acting between the permanent magnet assembly and the coil winding assembly. The anti-friction bearing unit is disposed between the stator and rotor units so as to stabilize rotation of the rotor unit.

Abstract: A ducted fan assembly includes a housing unit, a motor, and a propeller. The housing unit includes a duct member, and a hollow seat member disposed in the duct member. The motor is mounted to an exterior of the seat member, and includes a power cord extending through the seat member. The propeller is mounted to the motor and is driven thereby to generate an airflow that flows through the duct member and that acts on the motor.

Abstract: A wheel assembly for a model airplane includes a motor, a drive gear unit, a linkage, and a wheel unit. The drive gear unit includes a driven gear meshing with a driving gear connected fixedly to a spindle of the motor, and an output gear driven indirectly by the driven gear. The linkage includes a swing rod connected fixedly to the output gear, and a link connected pivotally to the swing rod. The wheel unit has a pivot end connected pivotally to an airplane body, a wheel-mounting end mounted with at least one wheel, and an intermediate portion connected pivotally to the link. The motor is operable to activate the drive gear unit so as to rotate the wheel unit between a generally horizontal idle position, and an upright landing position.
