% Gearbox gear ratios, one per condition, used to gain torque at a lower
% speed, i.e. the motor moves the gearbox input shaft at higher rpm with a
% lower torque, while the propeller is linked to the output gearbox shaft,
% rotating at lower rpm with a higher torque. The power is obviuously the
% same, except for the mechanical losses of the gearbox.
