Abstract
A method for balancing a rotor of an electric engine, comprising: identifying an axis of rotation of the rotor, determining an imbalance present in the rotor by rotating the rotor about the axis of rotation, wherein determining the imbalance includes rotating the rotor and detecting an amplitude of the imbalance. The method further comprising: calculating an amount of mass to remove at a position along an inner circumference of the rotor such that a center of mass of the rotor coincides with the axis of rotation of the rotor and removing the amount of mass from the inner circumference of the rotor.
