AIE Celebrate 650CS UAV Engine Launch in New Orleans

Enthusiastic chatter fills the 350,000 square feet of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans as around 600 exhibitors discuss new opportunities and start to pack away their latest UAV displays and technologies that have proudly been displayed at the largest global unmanned systems show: AUVSI Xponential 2016 from May 2^nd – 5^th.

Amongst the flight-control systems, radars, cameras, autopilots and electronic components that all have their place in the development of next generation UAVs is an exciting new product launch that is designed to ensure unmanned aerial systems operate at optimal capacity and benefit from smooth, reliable and low vibration propulsion – that product is the 650CS Wankel Rotary Engine, developed and manufactured by UK based Advanced Innovative Engineering (UK) Ltd.

On display at the AIE (UK) Ltd booth #2028, the 650CS rotary engine celebrated its official launch. Designed to meet the demanding requirements of medium to large UAVs with its high power of 120bhp and compact, lightweight engine weighing just 28kg, the 650CS attracted attention and questions over the engine’s incorporation of patented technology and revolutionary SPARCS cooling system.

The patented SPARCS cooling system provides the 650CS rotary engine with superior heat rejection and a completely sealed engine core for zero oil loss to the environment and longer endurance. With these new innovations tested and implemented in the 650CS rotary engine, UAV developers can now build unmanned aerial vehicles with an extremely reliable lightweight rotary powertrain that delivers increased take-off and climb capabilities, longer range and the ability to run on multi-fuel types.
