The present disclosure relates generally to a method for balancing a rotor of an electrical engine of an electrical propulsion system comprising: identifying an axis of rotation of a rotor, wherein the rotor comprises a sacrificial layer having a mass M formed along a circumference of the rotor; determining an imbalance present in the rotor by rotating the rotor about the axis of rotation, wherein determining an imbalance includes marking the rotor, rotating the rotor, and detecting an amplitude of the imbalance; calculating an amount of mass k to add or remove at a position p along the sacrificial layer such that a center of mass of the rotor coincides with the axis of rotation of the rotor; and removing an amount of mass r from the sacrificial layer such that an amount of remainder mass n is present along the circumference of the rotor.
