MOTORIZED AIRCRAFT AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING OUTPUT AND NUMBER OF ELECTRIC MOTORS IN MOTORIZED AIRCRAFT

摘要

[Problem] To ensure safety demanded of an aircraft while suppressing an increase in the total weight of the drive system. [Solution] Disclosed is a motorized aircraft controlled by a drive control means (120) that rotates and drives propulsion propellers, wherein: one propulsion propeller is driven by a plurality of electric motors (130); and the total output of the plurality of electric motors (130) and the required output satisfy the following relationship: Pmax(n-1)/n > Preq (wherein Pmax is the total output of the electric motors, n is the number of electric motors, and Preq is the required output).
