cool thing about electric or hydraulic is it isn't absolutely necessary to put the Fan next to the power supply. Put the Hot Core on the tail, the Fan on a very trim nacelle on the Wing. Spread the weight around. Having seen JT-9's generate 4 MegaWatts on a Powerplant Gang, I would like to think that the new ultralight electric motors might have a place in some new aero application also.
