Electric propulsion systems are changing the fundamentals of aircraft design, enabling engineers to rethink traditional configurations and aesthetics. Unlike gas turbines, which are bulky and require centralized placement, electric motors are small, lightweight, and can be distributed across the aircraft’s structure. This allows for designs where propulsion units are integrated into the wings or fuselage, creating a more unified and aerodynamically efficient structure.
