Lowell, MA | March 9, 2021 - ePropelled, the Massachusetts-based technology company offering
leading-edge electromagnetic systems, unveils today the next-generation family of power generation
and propulsion products for UAV and other aviation applications. The ePropelled
UAV product line consists of starter generators, intelligent power systems,
DC supplies and electronic engine
starters that
operate with internal combustion
engine UAVs, and electric propulsion motors, and air motor
controllers for eVTOLs, full electric, and hybrid aircraft.
The
entire family of products is the smartest, highest performance, and most
comprehensive product line for UAVs and drones on the market due to its
software control and advanced data and analytics capabilities.
The electrical Power Systems family includes Starter Generators,
Intelligent Power Systems (PMUs) and Electronic Engine Starters. These modular
components can be mixed and matched to supply 500 watts to 12 kW power. Our SGs
have enough torque to start the engine while providing power like an
alternator. The
power systems offer UAV designers the unique option to add hybrid technology to
optimize engine size while using the battery for power assist on take-off,
range extension, or emergency landings.
ePropelled has the broadest range of electrical Propulsion Systems
for mission-critical UAV applications. As commercial applications require
larger payloads, propulsion systems need to scale in power, diagnostics, and
performance. The electric Propulsion Systems include both Propulsion Motors,
ranging from 500 watts to 12 kW, and matching Motor Controllers.
“Our systems are fully integrated and
allow UAV and aircraft designers the time to focus on other aspects of their
job. All of our products come in various power ratings to meet hundreds of
possible applications. Pairing products together gives designers the
flexibility and capabilities they never had before,” said Nabeel Shirazee, CTO
of ePropelled. “Our innovative solutions are light, have high energy
efficiencies, and our patented technology enables continuous operating
temperatures approaching 205°C/401°F permitting UAVs to fly smarter, higher, and
farther...”
Power
and propulsion systems are critical to the success of ever-changing and
complicated UAV mission profiles. Considering both during the design can
contribute to lighter and more efficient aircraft. Built-in software enables
the operator to receive real-time data monitoring, device information,
connection status, event-based alerts, engine starter functionality, and
acknowledgment of transmitted messages. For example, this critical information
can alert the pilot to fuel and other device emergencies allowing them to land
the aircraft safely.
Nick
Grewal, CEO of ePropelled, explains, “ePropelled recognizes the importance of
high-performance electric propulsion and power systems in the commercial and
defense UAV markets. These markets are poised to revolutionize how people and
goods move, how companies collect data, and how security is ensured. ePropelled
is the only company that has both UAV power and propulsion systems. The
commercial drone market size was $22.5 billion in 2020 and it will grow at a
Compound Annual Growth Rate of 13.8% to almost double in 2025 at $42.8 billion.
These products were designed with these customers in mind using quality
materials, state-of-the-art engineering and testing, and real-world
applications.”
