Russian engineers from Moscow design bureau Motochrome have developed the Svirel electric motor, which will increase flight speeds by up to 30% when used in aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles. socialbites.ca was told about this by the press service of NTI EnergyNet, of which the Motochrome company is also a member.
The electric motor can be used in both light and heavy unmanned aerial vehicles weighing over 30 kg. It consists of 90% domestic parts and only bearings and magnets are imported.
“The engine has a unique coaxial design, which ensures paired operation of the propellers in the opposite direction and with a small gap, increasing the control stability and increasing the maximum speed of the aircraft-type UAV (unmanned aircraft systems – editor’s note). 20-30%. The engine has a total power of 3 kW and a shaft rotation speed of up to 12,000 rpm, Alexey Mishukov, director and chief designer of the Motochrome company, told socialbites.ca.
Tests of the first prototype of the electric motor are planned to be carried out in April 2024. According to the developers, some assembly units of the product have already been produced. The cost of each engine at the pilot serial stage will be approximately 85 thousand rubles.
Previous sales of smart home appliances in Russia grew up almost twice as much.
