Abstract
An electric motor system for powering a propeller has a central shaft engageable to a mount on an aircraft around which an annular housing rotates. The annular housing is engaged with propeller blades using blade mounts connected to the annular housing directly or upon brackets. The brackets are removably engageable with the annular housing to provide for change or repair of propeller blades.
Claims20
An electric motor apparatus powering a propeller, comprising:
- an electric motor having a shaft forming an inner stationary stator and having an annular housing operatively engaged to said shaft, said housing including a curved exterior surface rotating around said shaft upon communication of electric power to said electric motor;
- a plurality of blade mounts engaged to said curved exterior surface of said annular housing;
- a plurality of propeller blades, each of said propeller blades having a first end engaged to a respective said blade mount;
- and
- said shaft having a first mounting hub located on at least one end thereof, said first mounting hub for connecting said shaft to a fixed position on a first mount on an aircraft.
