Information

There are 375,000 propeller-driven civilian aircraft in the world today. All use one propeller per shaft. Coaxial contra-rotating propeller (CRP) systems offer considerable performance benefits over single propeller systems. The new 400 HP CRPS 260 GT system provides yaw-free thrust and, driven by powerful electric traction motors, can deliver high-performance STOL capabilities to most aircraft. This new system uses separate motors, batteries and duplicated power electronics to drive the propellers. Furthermore, as a fuselage-mounted unit, it offers ‘twin-engine’ status but, as a coaxial arrangement, without requiring a pilot to hold a twin-engine license rating.
YASA: e-motors for hybrid and electric vehicles & aviation needsYASA designs and manufactures highly efficient electric powertrain solutions for hybrid and electric vehicles and has a growing reputation for driving innovation to meet the emerging needs of various Aerospace industry applications. Come talk to us to find out more. For a given power & torque requirement, YASA can deliver significantly smaller, lighter and more efficient electric motors, controllers and integrated electric drive units than any other competing technology. Furthermore, the motor technology is inherently lower cost than the competition when purchased in volume due to the motors exceptionally high utilisation of magnetic material and YASA's advanced manufacturing technology. The high performance YASA motors and controllers are suitable for range of markets and applications, and excel in the toughest environments where eficiency,  weight and space are critical for the end-user. In 2018, YASA officially opened its 100,000 unit per annum e-motor and controller automated serial production facility in Kidlington near Oxford, UK.
