uav system products

Northwest UAV Propulsion Systems builds UAV engines and support systems for all UAV propulsion needs. If it can be designed, NWUAV can build it.

UAV Heavy Fuel Engines

UAV engines for any unmanned vehicle in the air on land and in the water.

NWUAV builds heavy fuel engines (HFEs) for UAVs:

  • designed for use in high altitude/long endurance aircraft
  • scalable for use in various classes of aircraft with multiple fuel types
  • dramatically enhance engine system performance
  • manufactured entirely in the USA

Variable Pitch / Constant Speed Propeller System

NWUAV propeller system is adjustable depending on the theater of operation and altitude. When the system is combined with our FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) system, the Vari-Prop® system gives the UAV operator increased efficiencies not available with fixed pitched propellers. Longer flight times and stealthier operations are two of the benefits realized with this bolt-on solution.

Diagnostic Testing & Engine Services

  • Engine Dyno Testing
  • Altitude Chamber Engine Testing to 40,000 feet
  • Propeller Dyno and Sound Booth

Rapid Engineering & CNC Machining

NW UAV has the engineering and SLS prototyping capabilities to provide the rapid manufacturing of any design. Our engineering capability eliminates weeks in the design and validation phases.
