“Electric motors are also heavy. Windings versus empty combustion chamber”

As I stated in a previous post to you, the 750 hp electric motor weighs less than the turbine and reduction gears it replaces.

Do your homework.

How many hours do you have? Have many in turbine? How many in jet? How many in combat? I’ve forgotten more than most people will ever know about flying, aircraft, engines, and flight rules. You keep doing homework. I’ve got 41 years on your homework. Have a good day.

A PT6 is 275 lbs. The electric motor is 300 lbs and you still have the battery weight. I don’t see the savings.
