This work establishes and describes a new electric aircraft propulsion technology category for achieving true zero greenhouse gas emission with transport aircraft. This new category is enabled by a recently invented Closed Strayton Quad Generator and recently developed megawatt-scale electric propulsor motors that enable staged contra-rotating ducted fans in a single nacelle. After a brief review of the existing state of practice, a new electric aircraft propulsion system is described that is quiet, clean, efficient, reliable, safe and supports the global transition from jet fuel and sustainable aviation fuel to future green hydrogen fuel with the goal of achieving truly zero impact on the environment. A detailed design of this propulsion system is presented along with a performance and mass comparison to current state of practice.
