  • Electric propellor drive and vehicle using the same
    Patent number: 11509197
    Abstract: An electrically powered propellor apparatus comprising an axial flux electric machine. The axial flux electric machine comprises a rotor, at least one stator and a shaft. The shaft mounts the rotor and the shaft is mounted in at least two spaced apart thrust bearings. Each of the thrust bearings is configured to resist thrust in opposing axial directions of the shaft. The shaft has a propellor mounted on at least one end thereof.
    Type: Grant
