The Ecolibri company announced the start of the development of electric motors.
It will be described in general terms and unmanned vehicles. The main feature of the EM-01 is an electric drive with direct transmission, which improves the energy performance, reliability and service life of the aircraft engine.
The EM-01 engine created by Ecolibri is the prototype of the first of a new generation of aircraft engines. This type of engines is expected to be used both for the creation of electric passenger aircraft, including vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, and in unmanned vehicles. In addition, we assume that this set of technologies may be in demand in the automotive and shipbuilding industries.
When developing the engine, duplication and redundancy of all components and engine circuit diagrams are used, and almost complete import independence of components is controlled. The planned carrying capacity of the Ecolibri family is from 10 to 200 kW, which makes it possible to efficiently and safely transport overall and passenger transportation.
