AEROSPACE UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV)
We are taking our knowledge and expertise, built over six decades of automotive and motorsport innovation and using it to develop state-of-the-art solutions for the aerospace industry. From ground-breaking piston technology to bespoke hybrid systems, we have the capabilities to enhance any programme with robust solutions.
PROPULSION SOLUTIONS
We have the capabilities to produce innovative propulsion solutions for the UAV market. With a focus on weight, performance, fuel efficiency, engine life and maximising time between overhauls, our offering caters for most applications. This is thanks to development of traditional internal combustion engines (ICEs) and hybrid systems, utilising the benefits of exotic materials, advanced manufacturing processes and unique electrification technologies.

VTOL AIRCRAFT
We have developed hybrid propulsion systems that are installed in development Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) airframes. The nature of VTOL aircraft is such that they require significantly greater take-off power than cruise power. In these applications our AG2 engine is augmented by a further 6bhp from the electric motor for the short take-off phase, before the motor switches to power generation in level flight.
THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Our internal combustion engine, battery and motor technology is well suited to VTOL aircraft requirements and our approach to engineering challenges makes us the ideal partner for developmental propulsion systems such as hydrogen engines.
A BACKGROUND IN ENGINEERING
Our engineering background and partnerships have led us to produce novel 2-stroke, air-cooled, ultra-light UAV engines that boast unrivalled levels of efficiency, reliability and serviceability. Capable of running on both JP5 and JP8 jet fuel, our compression ignition UAV engines benefit from de-throttling, further boosting efficiency and reducing exhaust temperatures.
SUPPORTING DEFENSE CONTRACTORS
We have supported a number of defense contractors with engine development programs for their Group 3 and Group 4 UAS projects. These programs range from re-design of key engine components for mass reduction through to complete engine development and production supply.

AEROSPACE PISTONS
We have been supplying the aerospace sector for many years with a diverse array of components. Within our offering we manufacture fully machined pistons for use in both historic and modern aero engines, giving customers a broad range of piston solutions for aerospace ICEs.
