A rotor assembly includes a plurality of segmented magnets disposed about an outer surface of a rotor core and a plurality of segmented metallic bands configured to secure the plurality of segmented magnets to the outer surface of the rotor core. The number of segments of the segmented metallic bands in an axial direction is greater than the number of segments of the segmented magnets.

System and method for reduced rotor losses

A rotor assembly includes a plurality of segmented magnets on an outer surface of a rotor core, a metallic layer on the outer surface of the plurality of segmented magnets, and a plurality of segmented metallic bands on the outer surface of the metallic layer. The plurality of segmented metallic bands is configured to secure the plurality of segmented magnets to the outer surface of the rotor core, and each band of the plurality of metallic bands has an axial length less than an axial length of the rotor.

Rotor assembly

An alternating current type electric propulsion system is described that includes an AC generator and a plurality of propulsors electrically coupled to the AC generator. A first propulsor from the plurality of propulsors includes a first motor that drives a first fan of the first propulsor at a first speed. A second propulsor from the plurality of propulsors comprises a second motor that drives a second fan of the second propulsor at a second speed that is different than the first speed.

Varying quantities of motor poles for noise reduction

A rotor assembly with a rotor hub, a plurality of permanent magnets positioned circumferentially around at least a portion of the rotor hub, and a coating on at least a portion of the plurality of permanent magnets. The coating forming a retaining band that circumferentially extends around the rotor hub and the plurality of permanent magnets. The coating includes a nano-crystalline layer including a metal or metal alloy and defines an average grain size of less than about 50 nanometers (nm).
