Default Contra-rotating electic

Just another crazy idea I have
I was thinking as there are many aircraft with contra-rotating propellers, and since today a lot of people seem to be making home-brew brushless motors, why not combine the two, and make a contra rotating brushless set up.
Here it is, my first design, using two single-stator motors. The design would have to use two seperate shafts, with bearings between all rotating components( sorry, these are not in the drawing)
Is it feasable? Is there a better way? (I'm sure there is)
Thanks
