ePropelled has announced the availability of its USA-assembled Falcon product line.

ePropelled Falcon product line of propulsion systems.

The Falcon series offers compact propulsion systems with power ratings from 1kW to 20kW, designed to meet the demands of diverse uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) applications.

ePropelled’s Falcon line, with its expansive power range and industry-leading performance, is said to be ideally positioned to meet the growing demand for fully compliant UAV propulsion solutions.

Nick Grewal, CEO of ePropelled, said; “Our Falcon product line exemplifies ePropelled’s commitment to innovation and excellence in propulsion technology. By offering power options from 1kW to 20kW — alongside our ePConnected™ protocol for comprehensive control, instrumentation, and data-sharing services — Falcon delivers unparalleled performance and efficiency. 

“As global regulatory landscapes shift, ePropelled provides cutting-edge drone solutions that not only meet the most stringent industry requirements, but also help our customers stay ahead of compliance challenges with products fully assembled in the USA.”

ePropelled’s Falcon products include a range of five electric propulsion motors, five intelligent motor controllers (up to 98-percent-efficient), and a powerful and intelligent electronic engine starter motor controller adept for hybrid UAV power requirements.

Quiet and efficient, Falcon products include ePConnected™ real-time performance data services that enable a range of useful applications and analytics. UAV designers, for example, can create custom applications via an open API and set parameter alerts based on specific uses and mission profiles.

Superior cooling and power efficiency allow powerful Falcon motors to operate longer, in thinner air, and at higher altitudes. Increasingly, UAV designers are seeking those exacting attributes from more powerful motors and across higher voltages.

Michael Rowe, Industry Analyst and Vice President and Global Practice Leader, Aerospace & Defence, at Frost & Sullivan, added; “Electric drone engines, especially powerful and flexible solutions such as those of ePropelled, are a growth market for multiple reasons and provide an excellent investment opportunity. For example, in both civil and military use case scenarios, reduced sound is essential to reduce sound pollution and detection.”

Philip Hicks, an Industry Analyst at Pravo Consulting, said; “We are seeing a growing demand for drone propulsion systems up to 20kW and 106V.

“ePropelled’s Falcon devices meet these demands, even as China has capped all of its drone motor exports at 16kW.”
