An electric motor includes: a case; a stator including a stator core disposed inside the case and a stator coil wound around the stator core; a rotor including a rotating shaft and being configured to rotate with respect to the stator; and an oil spraying part that is configured to store oil in a lower part of the case, that includes an oil passage configured to guide the oil to an upper area of the case and an oil pump for pumping the oil, and that is configured to spray the oil to an inner heating part of the case. Accordingly, the oil can suppress occurrence of short-circuiting of an electric circuit and rapidly cool a heating part.

A thrust assembly motor is described, which can be used in a distributed electric propulsion system. The thrust assembly motor may include a revolved-wedge shaped ring on a leading edge of a motor stator, with a row of axial stator blades extending therefrom. The revolved-wedge shaped ring provides a mounting surface for the axial stator blade row while also controlling the ratio of airflow mass entering the outer gap versus the inner gap. The axial stator blade row, mounted to the revolved-wedge shaped ring, is configured to convert tangential kinetic energy (i.e., associated with a velocity component of the airflow) in the cooling airflow aft of the cooling fan rotors into static pressure rise after interaction with the axial stator blade row, during flight of the hybrid-propulsion aircraft.

A stator for an electrical machine, in particular for an electromotive drive machine for an electric or hybrid vehicle, includes a stator core stack with a stator yoke and a number of radial stator teeth, as well as a corresponding number of stator slots, arranged between the stator teeth, for receiving a stator winding. A cooling apparatus has a number of cooling channels, each of which runs axially in one of the stator slots.
