Engineering Significance

Distributed propulsion is a core pillar of the WHOLEFIELD safety architecture
Four ducted units are distributed across both wingtips
Each unit is driven by an independent motor, independent ESC, and independent power supply circuit

Propulsion System Schematic

System Architecture

Independently driven and mutually isolated. Each ducted unit is driven by an independent motor, independent ESC, and independent power supply circuit, with electrical and control systems completely isolated to prevent single-point failures from causing cascading effects.

Core Capabilities

Core Specifications and System Architecture

Differential Thrust, Agile Maneuverability

During transition flight, distributed propulsion enables differential thrust for yaw control, reducing reliance on aerodynamic control surfaces.

Aerodynamic Optimization

Aerodynamic interference among the four ducts is optimized, yielding higher overall efficiency than a single large rotor.

System Isolation

Deep physical and electrical isolation to prevent cascading failures.

Integration Efficiency

Highly integrated powertrain design to improve energy consumption performance.

Development and Validation Status

WHOLEFIELD remains steady and controllable under complex operating conditions, providing unprecedented safety assurance for urban air mobility. A comprehensive airworthiness verification system ensures consistent performance from every aircraft in extreme environments.
