An electrically-powered contra-rotating propeller propulsion apparatus 15 for an aircraft comprises a carbon composite housing structure 16 containing a battery. The apparatus may comprise duplicate controls for operating either of the propellers as a single independent system or operating the propellers together. The apparatus may comprise twin motors, wherein each motor is powered and controlled separately. Means for in-flight recharging, such as batteries fuel cells or a generator, may be mounted on an aircraft using the apparatus. The apparatus may be bolted to a firewall 10 of an aircraft and may replace a piston engine driving a single propeller.
