Bangalore-based Dynamatic Technologies Limited has entered into a partnership with Perth-based manufacturer Orbital UAV to acquire their Orbital 150cc Heavy Fuel Engine (HFE). This strategic move aims to power a long-endurance, low-altitude unmanned surveillance and reconnaissance aerial vehicle (UAV) being developed by Dynamatic Technologies.
The Orbital 150cc HFE is a compact and powerful engine capable of operating on various fuels, including gasoline, JP5, JP8, and JetA. Its versatility and efficiency make it an ideal choice for powering UAVs that require extended flight times.
While Dynamatic Technologies has not disclosed many details about its UAV project, the Orbital 150cc HFE’s specifications suggest that it could be a highly capable platform. With a power output of 11.5 hp, a weight of 6.4 kg, and a fuel consumption of less than 330 g/kWh, the engine offers a compelling combination of power and efficiency.
The Orbital 150cc HFE is commonly used in tactical UAVs, demonstrating its suitability for military applications. Its ability to operate at high altitudes and in various environmental conditions further enhances its appeal for UAV development.
