  • Publication number: 20230271710
    Abstract: An electrical propulsor motor may include a stator having a hollow cylinder with an inner cylindrical surface and an outer cylindrical surface, rotor incorporated in a hub of a propulsor and mounted to the stator, including a first cylindrical surface facing the inner cylindrical surface, where the inner cylindrical surface and first cylindrical surface form a first air gap, a second cylindrical surface facing the outer cylindrical surface, wherein the outer cylindrical surface and the second cylindrical surface form a second air gap, and a plurality of axial impeller vanes mounted to at least one of the first cylindrical surface and the second cylindrical surface and within at least one of the first air gap and the second air gap and positioned to force air through the at least one of the first air gap and the second air gap when the rotor rotates about the axis of rotation.

  • Patent number: 11383850
    Abstract: An integrated electric propulsion assembly includes a stator including at least a first magnetic element generating first magnetic field. The assembly includes a propulsor with an integrated rotor, the propulsor further including a hub rotatably mounted to the stator and at least a second magnetic element affixed to the hub, the at least a second magnetic element generating a second magnetic field. At least one of the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field varies with respect to time, wherein the varied magnetic field includes generating a magnetic force between the at least a first magnetic element and the at least a second magnetic element, and the magnetic force causes the hub to rotate with respect to the stator.
