# 2.5 MW of shaft power on the world's most advanced electric motor for aerospace and defense

The Wright WM2500 motor leads the industry in performance, delivering an unmatched power-to-weight ratio for aerospace and defense applications, from multi-megawatt airborne propulsion to high-power-density ground turbogenerators.

# Unmatched thrust at the lightest weight

The Wright Motor's 2.5 megawatts (MW) of shaft power paves the way toward enough thrust for optimal lift during the most critical moments of a flight — a new standard in electric aviation.

- **Unmatched Power:** With up to 2.5 MW of power (3x higher than commercial-off-the-shelf), our propulsion unit delivers unrivaled performance, providing the energy needed to drive next-generation vehicles and vessels.

- **Exceptional Power Density:** Boasting specific power up to 16 kw/kg (3x higher than commercial-off-the-shelf), our propulsion unit maximizes energy output while minimizing size and weight, offering a compact solution for a wide range of applications.

- **High Efficiency:** With an efficiency rating of 96%, our propulsion unit ensures efficient energy utilization, reducing stored energy requirements, environmental impact, and operating costs.

- **Proven Track Record:** Developed in collaboration with leading research institutions such as NASA and ARPA-E, our propulsion unit will undergo rigorous testing to demonstrate its exceptional reliability and performance.

# Megawatt advantage for full passenger loads

Lift is a function of thrust minus drag, and by keeping our motor lightweight and drag-efficient, we minimize the lift required and maximize performance.

- **Flexible Power Options:** Our propulsion unit offers peak power of 2 MW at 800 VDC and 2.5 MW at 1200 VDC, providing versatility to meet diverse application requirements.

- **High-Speed Performance:** With a rated speed of 7,500 rpm and 2,550 Nm of rated torque, our propulsion unit delivers high-speed performance. Please [see our white paper here](https://docsend.com/view/9j2unvg4qtkz36zq) that describes the system mass benefits of a medium-speed machine for propeller-based applications.

- **Integrated Inverter Technology:** WM2500 is equipped with eight integrated inverters, each rated to 250 kW of power.

- **Multiple Outputs:** The EPU is designed to direct-drive a ducted fan, power a propellor through a single-stage gearbox, or perform as the genset of a 4 MW class turbogenerator.
