This template employs intricate features of template syntax.

You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.
You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here.

This template provides formatted output for electric aircraft engines specifications per Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/Engines/page content. To use this template, copy-paste the following text:

Explanation of template parameters[edit]

All dimensioned parameters should be written in both imperial units and metric units. For American and British designs, the format is imperial (metric). For all others, it is metric (imperial). Conversion templates may be used to simplify entries, such as {{convert||mm|in|1|abbr=on}}, {{convert||kg|lb|1|abbr=on}}, {{convert||kW|hp|0|abbr=on}}.

|type= Engine in a nutshell, such as [[Brushless DC electric motor|Brushless]] or [[Brushed DC electric motor|brushed]] electric [[aircraft engine]]
|designer= Who
|length= Length of the engine, in (mm)
|diameter= Diameter or width of the engine, in (mm)
|width= Width of the engine, in (mm)
|height= Height of the engine, in (mm)
|weight= Dry weight of the engine (without oil, coolant, etc.), lb (kg)
|coiltype= for instance outrunner or disk collector
|coolingsystem= Description of the cooling system, for example air- or liquid-cooled.
|reduction_gear If there's one, give the ratio or otherwise describe it
|power= Power output, hp (kW) at # rpm
|voltage= nominal voltage
|bestefficiency= the percent efficiency
|currentmax= the maximum current drain in amps
|currentcruise= the cruise speed current drain in amps
|power/weight= Power-to-weight ratio, calculated by dividing engine power by engine weight, hp/lb (kW/kg)
