Abstract:
An aircraft propulsion system comprises first and second co-axial propulsors, one of the first and second propulsor being positioned forward of the other propulsor. A first electric motor is configured to drive the first propulsor, and a second electric motor is configured to drive the second propulsor. The first electric motor comprising a rotor radially inwardly of the stator, and the second electric motor comprises a rotor radially outwardly of the stator. The stator of the first electric motor is mounted to the stator of the second electric motor.
