Emrax sells this technology for years now. This isn't new, and I couldn't find a datasheet to meaningfully compare them with what else is available on the market.

I do know of axial flux motors that couldn't have had iron teeth, but I think it was a single-side design with a metal backplate to support the resin-soaked stator windings. I recall a nice discussion about them using GaN power electronics to reach very high efficiencies. Those machines were still hand made last year, however...



You can, of course, make an ironless axial flux motor with the resin and wire itself acting as a structural composite. Two-sided. I think commonly were used for solar cars (i.e. for student competitions).


The prototype I touched was for/part of a 200kW pair (I don't recall if each or total) for a demonstrator plane...
