An aircraft thruster includes at least a first propeller provided with a plurality of radial blades extending about an axis of rotation of the said first propeller, which is driven in rotation by a first electric motor. An electrical supply of the first electric motor includes power circuits carried by a fairing of the thruster characterized in that the power circuits are arranged in an annular manner in an annular part integral with the fairing of the thruster, this annular part being arranged around the said first propeller.

Aircraft thruster having an annular part integral with a fairing surrounding a first propeller

The invention relates to an electric propulsion unit for an aircraft comprising at least one first propulsion member, a second propulsion member and a single electric motor configured to drive the first propulsion member and the second propulsion member in a counter-rotating manner, the electric motor comprising a peripheral stator element comprising a first peripheral stage and a second peripheral stage which are offset along an axis, the first peripheral stage comprising at least a first phase, a second phase and a third phase which are alternated according to a first sequence in such a way as to allow a rotation of the first rotor element in the first direction of rotation, the second peripheral stage comprising phases which are alternated according to a second sequence in such a way as to allow a counter-rotating rotation of the second rotor element.
