UAVHE’s hybrid UAV engines combine the advantages of both electric and combustion technologies, leveraging the energy density of gasoline and the manoeuvrability of motors.

The hybrid electric propulsion solutions deliver longer flight times for the same takeoff weight compared to purely electric systems, and consume less fuel than combustion-only aircraft. UAVs equipped with these engines are easy to control, making them accessible to pilots with a wide range of skill levels and experience.

uavhe hybrid UAV enginesAll UAVHE engines are precision-machined from aerospace-grade materials, and have been engineered with a two-stage fuel injection system and an electric starter and booster. With a durable, low-vibration design, they are highly resistant to collisions and extremes of weather. Other key features include:

  • Advanced autotuning
  • CANbus control
  • Extensive telemetry and self-diagnosis capabilities
  • Electronic torque control and in-cycle torque compensation

hybrid engines for dronesUAVHE also provides expert design and integration support for drone developers creating new concepts and prototypes for commercial, industrial and public safety UAS.

The company can help you select the best hybrid propulsion solution for your new platform, and can customise existing products to suit specific requirements and withstand harsh conditions such as moisture, dust, and extremes of temperature.
