The Electric Aircraft Corporation Electra 1 is an American electric motor for powering electric aircraft, designed and produced by Electric Aircraft Corporation of Cliffside Park, New Jersey. [1]

Contents

The engine is normally sold in a package that includes "motor, electronic controller, power dial and switch, fuse, connectors, ammeter and shunt, voltmeter, custom machined propeller hub, and digital motor temperature display with probe." [2]

Design and development

The Electra 1 is a brushed 74 volt design producing 14 kW (19 hp). It has an 85% efficiency. The low working rpm of the engine means that it can turn a propeller at efficient speeds without the need for a reduction drive. [1]
