I stand corrected. Just to be clear for my understand, would this not only be true during optimal cruise? Outside of optimal operation, specially during the st

  >Outside of optimal operation, specially during the start, this would actually be an advantage of electric motors? When you say "this" do you mean "having more low-end torque than a gasoline motor"? In theory, you could tune your prop governor to take a bigger "bite" of the air at low airspeed and thus perhaps get better acceleration and a shorter takeoff roll. But aircraft performance is very rarely limited by the torque output of the engine itself. Usually the driveshafts and gearboxes are the limiting factors in power/torque transmission.
