In the low-tens of kg, I have to wonder if we will just start mass-producing a single motor and just change the driving electronics for different vehicles/applications. Eg: De-rating this motor via driving electronics for aviation to only produce 200hp would be interesting for experimental designs.

Then you could use a smaller motor which would be lighter (important for aviation) and likely cheaper.

Looking at the whole system might reveal a different answer though.
