The described technology relates to a stator of a planar type motor and a planar type motor using the same, which are easy to manufacture and are capable of reducing core losses, thereby maximizing motor performance. First cores that are difficult to form by stacking electrical steel plates are formed of soft magnetic powders, and second cores that are formed by stacking electrical steel plates having the same size are arranged in a region where a vortex is concentrated, thereby allowing easy manufacture and being capable of maximizing the performance of the planar type motor.

A bi-polar hybrid stepper motor includes a stator having a primary winding. The stator and the primary winding are positioned within a housing. A rotor has a magnetic component. The rotor is rotationally operable relative to the stator. An axial coil assembly is positioned within the housing and located proximate ends of the rotor and having a secondary winding. At least a portion of the magnetic component of the rotor is produced by the axial coil assembly in an energized state. The energized state produces an electromagnetic communication between the rotor and the stator.

The present invention provides a rotor, an axial flux electrical machine and a hybrid-electrical or electrical air craft. The rotor for the axial flux electrical machine comprises first sections of a first material and second sections of a second material. The first sections and second sections are arranged in alternating order and ring-shape. The arrangement is characterized by third sections which form interface areas between the first sections and second sections, whereas the third sections are comprising the first material and the second material in such a manner that the first section and the second section are connected force-fitted.

An engine includes: a first rotating component; a second rotating component separate from the first rotating component; and an electric machine, the electric machine including a first rotor rotatable with the first rotating component; a second rotor rotatable with the second rotating component; and a stator assembly arranged between the first rotor and the second rotor, the stator assembly including a first set of windings arranged adjacent to the first rotor, a second set of windings arranged adjacent to the second rotor, and a non-ferromagnetic inner housing arranged between the first set of windings and the second set of windings.
