Electric powered direct drive rotor motor with integrated mechanical flight control

Abstract:

An electric propulsion system including a stationary rotor hub assembly and a rotating system mounted to the stationary rotor hub assembly. The rotating system is rotatable about an axis. An electric motor including a stator assembly is associated with the rotor hub assembly and a rotor assembly of the electric motor is associated with the rotating system. A swashplate assembly having a dynamic component is integrated into the rotor hub assembly.
