Abstract
An electric propulsion system, comprising a propeller and a motor arranged to rotate the propeller, the motor comprising an axial flux motor comprising a rotor disc and a stator disc mounted in face-to-face relationship with an air gap defined therebetween, the rotor disc driven to rotate relative to the stator disc to cause magnetic flux in the air gap to cause rotation of the propeller, characterised in that the propeller is directly attached to the rotor disc to rotate with the rotor disc.
