A domestic electric motor for drones with a take-off weight of up to 30 kilograms has been developed in Novosibirsk, with a production localization level of 95%. This was announced by Nikita Boikov, General Director of the Aviator Research and Production Association.
We have developed an electric motor for a drone. It is designed for a UAV with a take-off weight of up to 30 kg. Production is localized here in Novosibirsk, 95% is domestic material content. In terms of frequency regulators on a domestic component base, we are the first in the country to start doing this.
The electric motor is equipped with a frequency regulator that changes the frequency of the electrical energy supply, allowing smooth control of the engine speed and reducing energy consumption, especially in systems with variable loads. In some characteristics, the new motor is comparable to Chinese counterparts, and in some aspects even surpasses them.
The device was created using exclusively Russian materials, including steel, copper, connectors, and glue. Neodymium magnets were used from foreign sources, which are necessary to create a strong permanent magnetic field with small size and weight of the device.
The Aviator company has already begun supplying new motors to drone developers and has organized small-scale production.
Currently, we can make about 100-200 motors per month. As soon as we have a corresponding order, we will make a large batch.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the production of engines for drones will be established in Krasnoyarsk.
