Ukrainian company Motor-G has presented the Vandal electric motor for interceptor drones, Defender Media reported.
It is noted that the developers created Vandal after finding out that interceptor drones fly longer than other drones at maximum load. T…
Iran launched a new variant of its Shaheed-101 kamikaze UAV, fitted with a tractor propeller powered by an electric motor and RATO as a different approach.
A new Shaheed-101 variant, while mostly identical to its catapult-launched and gasoline-powered …
If you have a regional turboprop aircraft and wish that it was a bit more hybirdy, RTX may be able to accommodate you. The company is developing a combined thermal/electric propulsion system that not only increases efficiency but can be retrofitted int…
Behind any great sports car stands a great motor. So it follows that behind an absolutely insane hypercar stands an equally insane hyper-motor. Or two. That’s how it breaks down with the all-new £1 million McMurtry Spéirling[1], the modern-day fan car …
