Abstract (en)
A rim driven thruster comprises an annular housing, a propulsor assembly, a magnetic rotor assembly and a stator assembly. The annular housing defines a flow path extending along an axis. The propulsor assembly is supported within the housing and comprises propeller blades extending radially from the axis of the flow path. The propeller blades are configured to rotate about the axis. The magnetic rotor assembly is mounted to radially outer ends of the propeller blades. The stator assembly comprises spaced propeller drive modules mounted to an inner circumferential surface of the annular housing. The propeller drive modules are configured to provide electromagnetic torque to the magnetic rotor assembly.
