NEX Power is a UK-based developer of innovative low- and zero-emission propulsion and power generation solutions that are poised to transform unmanned aviation and support the shift to sustainable flight.
Our mission is to create zero-carbon hybrid propulsion technologies that enhance the capabilities of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) beyond those of purely electric systems, opening up a new generation of applications such as UAM (urban air mobility) and heavy-lift cargo drones.
Our Core Technology
Through pioneering research, we have developed extensive expertise in micro gas turbines (MGT) and related advanced turbomachinery. Our core technology enables compact and lightweight propulsion solutions with high power-to-weight ratios and reduced carbon footprints.
Featuring direct-drive mechanisms and providing voltage outputs of 450 to 800V, these systems can be cooled entirely by air, and utilize oil-free bearings that further contribute towards greener aviation, reduce friction, and simplify maintenance requirements. They can operate on multiple fuel types, including diesel, bio-fuels (e.g. sustainable aviation fuel), avgas, and hydrogen (currently under development).
