G Warwick, Siemens takes lead among emerging electric propulsion OEMs, Aviation Week & Space Technology, 2 April 2018, p 1
In US, Siemens is researching deeply into the improvement of electric motors and other equipment for use in aviation, in co-operation with Airbus and Rolls-Royce. The project includes electric propulsion systems ranging from 30 kW to 2 MW, with direct drive to the propeller in the absence of a gearbox. The torque to mass ratio has been raised from 20 to 30.6 Nm/kg. The reduced emissions and noise would permit airports to operate throughout the night.
