Advanced EFI Engines for Commercial & Industrial Drones

INF Inject is an industry-leading developer of innovative EFI (electronic fuel injection) engines specifically tailored towards commercial and industrial UAVs.

As a supplier partner on UST, we have been highlighting the company’s unique solutions and capabilities across our channels via the INF Inject supplier profile, which was written and built by our team in collaboration with the company. The Gold profile has been showcasing their drone propulsion solutions, which offer significantly lower fuel consumption compared to carburetor-based engines, resulting in longer flight times, reduced running costs, and fewer emissions.

INF Inject’s EFI engines are the result of thousands of hours of research, development and exhaustive flight testing, and are ideal for integration into a wide variety of UAV platforms. Delivered as turnkey solutions, the engines can be provided with additional options such as alternators, starter-alternators and generators to suit specific power requirements, and can be calibrated with your ideal fuel-to-air mapping.

INF Inject’s drone engine products incorporate a range of technological advantages, including:

Advanced CAD & Manufacturing – INF Inject uses the latest in computer-aided design technology to design, simulate and develop their engines. Additive manufacturing and CNC are used to create both prototype and commercially-ready components, and the company can rapidly iterate and react to new requirements.

Finely-Tuned Electronic Ignition – In conjunction with Desert Aircraft Australia, INF Inject has developed specialized Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI) systems for their engine range. ECU and ignition mappings are finely tuned to ensure peak performance and reliability.

In-House Engine Calibration – The company operates a sophisticated in-house controlled-environment engine testing cell utilizing the latest in tuning sensors, ensuring that each engine meets exacting requirements before being delivered to the customer.

Engine Temperature Protection – Cylinder head temperatures are closely monitored, and once the permitted range is exceeded, the EFI system begins a fuel-rich injection process that utilizes the fuel as engine coolant. This minimizes the risk of permanent damage or in-flight failure.

INF Inject’s product portfolio includes 2-stroke and 4-stroke EFI engines. Heavy fuel EFI engines, designed for use in environments where flammable fuels are unsuitable, are also currently under development.

The company has also developed a hybrid generator that has been designed to fill a performance gap in the UAV generator market, and is based around a custom version of the DA70 EFI engine.

The INF iHE7 hybrid generator can be utilized to provide intelligent power on demand for UAV subsystems such as avionics, and can extend mission endurance and range for applications such as surveillance, mapping and inspection.
