An electric engine for a vertical takeoff-and-landing aircraft comprising an electric motor assembly including a stator and a rotor. The electric engine may comprise an inverter assembly, a gearbox assembly including a sun gear, and a main shaft including a length of the main shaft that extends from a first end of the main shaft through the gearbox assembly and through the electric motor assembly to a second end of the main shaft. The electric engine may include a hydrodynamic bearing located between the main shaft and sun gear, and a bearing including an inner race mechanically coupled to the main shaft and an outer race mechanically coupled to the rotor. The electric engine may include a bearing including an outer race mechanically coupled to an inner surface of the rotor.
