New motors for AEROLЁT: a step forward in the airship lineup!

1 jūlijs 2025

More about the "New Generation Airships'" project.

Our laboratory has received new electric motors and carbon propellers that will become part of a future airship modification — an aerodynamic version that we internally refer to as "aerolёt".

The AEROLЁT-01 model will join the lineup of hybrid airships with volumes ranging from 130 to 160 m³ and will serve as an excellent example in the category of compact, lightweight, and maneuverable aircraft.

What makes it special?

• 4 XRotor X11 MAX 18S electric motors, each delivering a stable thrust of up to 20 kg, and peak thrust ranging from 44 to 50 kg.
• Paired with carbon copter propellers with a diameter of 1.2 m (48 inches), this combination provides a total potential of up to 80 kg active thrust in operational mode.
• The motors are IPX6 rated for protection, operate within a temperature range from –20 to +50°C, and are designed for an input voltage of up to 78.3 V.

All this is part of preparations for launching a new modification capable of demonstrating enhanced aerodynamic performance, flexible control, and structural adaptability.

AEROLЁT-01 is more than just an experiment; it is a future mass-produced product that will be presented to the market as part of the new generation hybrid airship lineup.

Stay tuned for updates — we'll soon showcase the first assembled tests!
