Safran ENGINeUS 45

Safran's ENGINeUS 45 is an aviation electric motor introduced in 2018 with a 45 kW continuous output and integrated control electronics. It converts electrical energy into mechanical power for propeller propulsion while consolidating conversion, control and battery-interface functions. Safran tested four examples together on a ground-based distributed hybrid-electric propulsion system. The 45 is an exact early product in the ENGINeUS range; the larger ENGINeUS 100 and later family developments have their own ratings and certification histories.
