The Wright Motor
Disrupting 100 years of electric machines
Wright is developing megawatt class, altitude-capable electric motors for high performance altitude and ground-based applications.
- 2 MW - 2x improvement in size over megawatt scale motors being demonstrated in the aerospace industry
- 10kW/kg specific power - a 2x improvement compared to available aircraft propulsion motors
- Scalable from 500 kW to 4 MW for different applications
- Allows application of the motor up to the single-aisle class aircraft, to enable electric and hybrid-electric flight with little to no emissions
- Wright will use 10 2MW motors on its Wright 1 aircraft - that's a total of 20 MW, which is as powerful as an A320 Airbus aircraft
The Wright motor reduces the weight of the overall system, maximizing payload and range.
