| Description |
This video examines the electric motors by Archer and Joby, the two frontrunners in the eVTOL industry. We start with a high-level analysis of their relative benefits and drawbacks, scoping our analysis to their torque and power densities. The intention is to open a broader and more detailed technical discussion. Finally, we conclude with an answer to the question: who has the better motor?

For an aircraft engineer like myself, the advent of the eVTOL industry is exciting. The industry's current state is that many companies are exploring different aircraft designs and innovations. Some will work, but many will fail because they will ultimately be less economical or technically inferior. I aim to be an independent analyst, educator, and commentator about what aircraft concepts are sensible and feasible and what could be more challenging. I want to share those insights, hoping that they will accelerate the learning curve that the industry is on.

It is important to note that I do not provide investment advice. I am not telling you to buy or sell a particular stock. Instead, I provide opinions on the aircraft design. Whether or not companies will be successful depends on numerous factors, of which the aircraft design is only a fraction. With teaching as my priority, I aim to boost our understanding of maths, physics, and engineering by using this exciting industry as the motivating context.
