Applications – Where Extreme Performance Matters
SciMo motors power the most demanding projects in various different industries – where weight, efficiency, and reliability makes the difference.
In electric aviation and eVTOL, our high-speed, ultra-efficient motors drive hybrid systems like Electra Aero’s EL-2 Goldfinch range extender, while starter-generators spin gas turbines up to 60.000 rpm for aircraft or helicopters. Motorsport and Hyperloop champions rely on us for unmatched acceleration and track records, with motors delivering over 500 kW peak.
Other usecases for our motors are in the defense sector, industrial compressors, rocket turbopumps, and ultra-dynamic test benches dynometeres.

Superioer Winding Technology
We’ve re-engineered the electric motor core:
Distributed windings using ultra-thin rectangular flat copper wires to reach >70% copper filling factor in the stator notches — smashing the usual 40–50%.
Result: Outstanding power density, efficiencies above 97%, excellent heat dissipation, super short winding heads, and everything at 30% reduced material costs.
Want to see how we hit >70% filling factor — and what it unlocks for your project?
