Abstract
Aircraft electric motors include a rotor comprising a plurality of magnet segments arranged on a frame of the rotor, the rotor defining an internal cavity radially inward from the plurality of magnet segments, an output shaft operably coupled to the rotor, a stator comprising at least one winding wrapped about a support structure, the stator arranged within the internal cavity of the rotor, and a stator support configured to supply at least a current into the at least one winding, wherein the support structure is structurally supported on the stator support. The magnet segments are symmetrically arranged about the stator to balance axial forces applied to the rotor when a current is induced within the at least one winding and maintain a gap between the plurality of magnet segments and the at least one winding.
