A Belarusian electric motor with a power of 4.44 kW successfully passed flight tests on the Chekan V strike drone. The test confirmed that the new power unit is capable of fully performing tasks as part of an unmanned aerial system and can replace a foreign analogue.
The engine was developed by specialists from OAO "ALEVKURP". Before air tests, the product underwent a series of bench tests. At the 558th Aircraft Repair Plant, engineers evaluated its main characteristics and checked its compatibility with the drone's systems.
After the ground phase was completed, the engine was tested under real operating conditions. During flights, the Chekan V performed the entire planned cycle of tasks. The power unit operated without issues during takeoff, route flight, and target approach phases.
The manufacturer has not yet disclosed the designation of the new engine, as well as the detailed technical characteristics of the development.
