Kerosene UAV Engines

This page is simply to promote sales of proprietary U.A.V. Propulsion Systems and Generator-Sets from a reputable, little known, UK manufacturer.

U.A.V. engine / drone propulsion system / engine / motor / I.C.E. – compact and light weight.

‘Heavy Fuel’ (HF) only Kerosene operation – F34 / JP8 / Jet A-1
No starter fuel required. Proven starting down to -27 deg C. Integrated. Negligible weight penalty, compact onboard starting system.
Many say they can do it. We find that is rarely the reality. Come see our elegant time proven IP working. Its simple, reliable and has low power consumption.

Wankel rotary architecture – Smooth operation and single rotor simplicity. The U.A.V. sweet spot.
Very low N.V.H. – 2 out of 3 modes are virtually zero, the 3^rd (torsional) is equivalent to a 4 cylinder 4 stroke piston arrangement.
Near turbine levels of vibration for a fraction of the cost. A coin can be stood, edge on, on the core whilst it is running. No payload focusing issues. No air-frame fretting or fatigue or fastener loosening issues.

C.A.N. Bus controlled.
Full electronic altitude compensation.
Full electronic functional control and throttle authority. Link to aircraft control system.

For small to medium sized UAV.
Reduction Drive and Starter-Generator if required.
Less than 60 secs from power-on to crank and start.
Highest power density on the market.
3 motor range: 2hp AC, 12hp LC, 18hp LC.
Scaleable C.F.D. cooling systems – application specific. i.e. V.T.O.L. or Fixed wing or other.

Highest thermal efficiency / lowest NVH cost at power range combination on the market.
Highest sustained power output with lowest N.V.H. and cost combination on the market.
Best SWaP-C on the market.

Over 10 years’ experience of manufacturing and selling Wankel Rotary engines.
Over 50 units supplied in batches of between 4 and 10.
The 12 hp LC version has been certified to fly outside of designated zones as part of a complete U.A.V. system produced by a European National Authority. 11 h duration’s, 150 kM flight radius and 15000 ft SSL Alt.
NASA technology readiness scale: TRL 8/9.
Ceramic combustion seals – long lasting and durable.

18 hp ‘Core’ (equivalent to ‘bare base motor’ when referring to reciprocating piston engines) = 4 kG.
Full system circa 17 kG including intake assembly and fuel system, exhaust manifold and muffler (92 dBA@1m), starter-gen (2.6 kW@7.5 krpm), cradle mounting, reduction drive (1.674:1), lubrication system, all electronics and VTOL spec. cooling system. Does not include fuel, lubricant, coolant or battery (electrical supply).
Sustained output of 12 kW (16.1 hp) for 4 mins with V.T.O.L. spec. cooling package.
Real world S.F.C. data upon request.

Above is shown the 12 hp propulsion system being tested in our dedicated dynamometer facility.
