UAV Turbines launches turbine engines for UAVs
UAV Turbines (UAVT) announced the launch of its series of gas turbine engines for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on 7 April.
UAVT's engines, which range in power from 30hp to 150hp, are designed specifically for Group 3 and above UAV programmes. The company claims that these engines will increase flight duration, reliability, payload capacity and operational ceilings of UAVs, while reducing noise significantly.
The engines are also designed to have low fuel consumption and the capability to operate on various heavy fuels. UAVT is currently demonstrating prototypes of its family of engines to potential customers.
Peter Bale, senior industry advisor, UAVT, said: 'For fifteen years, UAVT's predecessor company has been pioneering new, high performance turbine engine technology in unprecedentedly small engines with many potential applications.
'About three years ago, new management with fresh capital assigned the engineering team the task of creating a family of turbine engines that would be superior in performance and more reliable than any other engine in the UAV marketplace.'
