Two EngineUS systems will power the Atea aircraft
Ascendance Atea eVTOL aircraft
Ascendance's eVTOL aircraft will be powered by two Safran EngineUS hybrid-electric propulsion systems.

Hybrid-electric eVTOL developer Ascendance has selected Safran Electrical & Power’s EngineUS electric motor to power its Atea prototype aircraft. Two EngineUS electric motors will provide more than 100 kW to drive Atea’s two horizontal and eight vertical electric motors.

EngineUS incorporates power and control electronics into the motor, with air providing cooling.
