In UK, Electroflight recognises that former designs of electric aircraft have concentrated on endurance rather than speed (e.g. Solar Impulse at 56 mph, Airbus E-Fan at 136 mph, and Long-EZ at 220 mph) but is now seeking high performance in terms of speed and power. The Electroflight P1e will use axial flux YASA 750R motors weighing 37 kg and producing 200 kW with 720 Nm torque at 2750 rpm. In the contra-rotating two-bladed propeller version, two motors will be used in tandem giving separate drives. Initially, a 120 kg lithium battery pack will be used. The aircraft speed is expected to range from 250 to over 300 mph.
