An aircraft propulsion system comprises a propulsor an electric motor coupled to the propulsor. The electric motor comprises a surface mounted permanent magnet electric machine comprising a rotor mounted radially inward of a stator. A Motor Diameter Ratio (MDR) is defined as an inner diameter (D.sub.stator,in) of the motor stator in metres divided by an outer diameter (D.sub.stator,out) of the motor stator in metres. The MDR of the electric motor stator is within 10% of the value given by the equation:

[00001]${\mathrm{MDR}=0.83\times (\frac{\mathrm{Torq}ue}{L_{active}}\times \frac{1}{U_{\mathrm{fan},\mathrm{tip}}})}^{0.08}$ where: T is the maximum torque rating of the electric motor in kilonewton metres; L.sub.active is the active length of the motor stator in metres; and U.sub.tip is the tip speed of the propulsor at the maximum rated torque of the electric motor in metres per second.
