The I Series propulsion system is a game-changer for multi-rotor drones, integrating motor and ESC (electronic speed controller) into a single, smart, high-efficiency unit, with optimized propellers. It offers up to 2 hours of flight time and a lifespan ten times longer than standard systems in similar UAVs. Designed with advanced aerodynamic optimization and parametric blade geometry, the propeller is made of carbon fibre, which is stronger, 30-48% lighter and 15% quieter than conventional propellers. An all-aluminium frame ensures superior efficiency, reliability and long life.

Product highlights include:

All-in-One Design – the tightly-integrated motor, ESC and propeller are combined into a single streamlined module, reducing failure points and maximizing SWaP efficiency
10,000+ hour Service Life – thanks to high-quality materials and custom thermal balancing technology, IPET systems offer unparalleled durability and return on investment
Quick-Release Design – two-second quick-release allows for rapid tool-free propeller replacement, resulting in quick turnaround when time is of the essence
2+ hour Flight Time with 2kg Payload – industry-leading endurance allows you to accomplish more in a single flight, revolutionizing inspection, delivery, public safety and a broad range of other use cases
Intelligent Health Monitoring System – a wide variety of parameters can be delivered to the flight controller or streamed in real time to the ground control station. The AI-enhanced Pro version of the system utilizes sophisticated self-learning algorithms to predict component lifespan and maintenance requirements
Noise Reduction & Quiet Design – operating at just 67 dB at 5-meter altitudes and 60 dB at 10 meters, IPET systems are ideal for urban applications as well as covert missions

The IV Series of integrated propulsion systems has been designed for fixed-wing UAVs, and features a number of advanced safety features, including adaptive propeller locking that automatically adjusts holding torque in response to external forces, thus preventing blade-to-ground contact. Non-slip teeth provide enhanced grip resistance, and a detachable pin offers high shear strength, significantly reducing the risk of bolt shearing and nut loosening.

Product highlights include:

All-in-One Design – ESC is integrated at the rear end of the motor housing, resulting in less wiring, easier installation, and reduced size and weight
Supports PWM & CAN – versatile integration into a wide variety of fixed-wing drone platforms
Shared Cooling Channel Design – shared channel for both the motor and ESC, enhancing the efficiency of heat dissipation and ensuring stable operation even at maximum continuous power
Health Monitoring System – vital parameters such as motor temperature and RPM can be monitored in real time, with detection of overcurrent, overtemperature, overvoltage, stalling, and throttle signal loss

The N Series of drone motors features an internal rotor structure and enhanced ruggedization for ultra-reliable operation in extreme environments. With an IP66-rated enclosure, these robust motors are ideal for sandy, humid, marine, and corrosive conditions, and have passed a rigorous 120-hour salt spray endurance test.

The N8 model has completed final testing, and further members of the product family are currently under development.
