Rolls Royce used three 750R (YASA) motors in their aircraft "Ionbird." All motors are mounted on the same propeller shaft.
- What is the effect on the overall speed and power of the motors?
- What changes would there be in the torque, RPM, etc.?

Because they are connected to the same shaft their speed has to be the same, but their torque adds up, therefore their power adds up.
It is like connecting batteries in parallel where the voltage must be the same but the current adds up.
