Using a Torque Limited Propeller, You're Getting More Thrust
For designers, you get to simplify, sometimes really change what you can do with your product. Another example would be if you look at air transportation... vertical takeoff is one trend that's certainly strongly being looked at. If you have a higher torque motor and you can use a larger diameter, then it requires fundamentally much less energy to lift whatever is it trying to do or to produce thrust going forward. So for designers, I suppose that creates new opportunities for the tunnels like bringing them into city centers, for example, if you've reduced the noise.
