    摘要: A peripheral propulsion system having a propulsion unit, an upper section, and a lower section. The propulsion unit has a motor, a motor engagement section, an extension coupled to the motor engagement section, and two or more blades coupled to the extension. The extension is located between the upper section and the lower section. The output section is located about at least a portion of the lower section, and the two or more blades are located outside a periphery of the vehicle. When the motor is running, the two or more blades are capable of drawing fluid from about the periphery of the vehicle and through the output section.

    摘要: An electrical machine for integration into a vehicle frame structure is provided. The vehicle frame structure includes a structural wall that at least partially encloses an inner volume. The electrical machine includes a rotor with a rotor shaft. The rotor shaft is rotatable around a rotational axis, and is connectable to a propulsor for transferring torque to or from a fluid. The electrical machine includes a first bearing unit configured to hold the rotor shaft in a rotatable manner and a second bearing unit configured to hold the rotor shaft in a rotatable manner. The first bearing unit is releasably attachable to a first wall region of the structural wall, and the second bearing unit is releasably attachable to a second wall region of the structural wall. The first wall region and the second wall region are spaced apart with respect to the rotational axis.
