LH-02

LH-02 is a fully parallel propulsion unit built on the Native Parallel Hybrid™ architecture. It is intended for tactical UAVs and loitering munitions in the 30 to 45 kg MTOW class, enabling quiet electric segments, rapid changeover to combustion for higher thrust, in-flight battery charging, and built-in redundancy. The system supports drop-in installation on fixed wing and VTOL airframes to shorten integration time.

The package combines an air-cooled, single-cylinder two-stroke internal combustion engine with a motor, starter, and generator. It uses electronic fuel injection and starts automatically. The fuel is premixed gasoline or heavy fuel with 4% two-stroke oil. Operators can select battery-quiet operation when low acoustic signature is required, or use combustion power when extra performance is needed.
