So these outrunners are designed for air applications? any possibility or advantage to use them in surface models?

These can be used anywhere. You can search direct drive outrunner setups and find some good ones. I have an outrunner in my crt .5.

Well, the issue with using an outrunner in surface applications is that the motors are very open -- easy to get sand, dirt, metal shavings, etc. into the motor. If you are using them in an application where it is a relatively "clean" application, you can use an outrunner. Otherwise, it's best to use an inrunner, which is much more sealed to the environment.
