An aircraft power plant comprising multiple electric drivetrains combined through a single output shaft, wherein each drivetrain is completely separate from the other, containing individual power sources, motor controllers, and motors, wherein the motors could be selected to provide efficient direct drive to the propulsor at the target propulsor RPM, to facilitate combining multiple motors on the same shaft without requiring mechanical gearboxes. During normal operation, each drivetrain will be operating below their maximum output levels, extending the durability of the motor controllers and motors.
