Rotron Aero – Propulsion Systems for UAVs
ROTRON AERO Advanced Propulsion Systems for UAVs, VTOL & Tactical Drones About Us Rotron Aero is a global leader in the development and manufacturing of advanced rotary engines (Wankel concept) for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Vertical Take-Off and Landing platforms (VTOLs), and light aircraft. As a key component of the Ondas Autonomous Systems division, Rotron engines are directly integrated into the group's new generation of autonomous drones – providing unparalleled range and endurance that battery-powered systems cannot replicate. Key Technological Advantages Feature Conventional Piston Engine Rotron (Wankel) Power / Weight Standard Extremely High – more power from a smaller block Vibrations High – damages optics and electronics Zero – smooth rotary motion Fuel Gasoline only Multi-fuel – gasoline, Jet A-1, JP5, JP8 (NATO) Lifespan Shorter TBO, more moving parts Longer TBO – minimal moving parts Drone Endurance Hours 24+ hours (MALE category) Product Portfolio 1. Rotron Skylancer – Premium Endurance System Highly integrated, twin-rotor tactical propulsion system for long-range unmanned aerial vehicles (MALE – Medium Altitude Long Endurance category). It utilizes an advanced closed hybrid cooling system and is tuned for long cruising at extremely low fuel consumption. In-flight endurance of over 24 hours. Endurance Over 24 hours in flight Cooling Advanced closed hybrid system Control Redundant digital architecture – civil and military airspace Category MALE UAV, strategic reconnaissance 2. Rotron Defendor – Military-Grade System with High Durability Military-Grade tactical propulsion system designed for the harshest combat conditions and operations from aircraft carriers. Robust aluminum-titanium encapsulation with complete EMP and EMI shielding. Instant start in seconds. Durability EMP + EMI shielding, aluminum-titanium casing Start Rapid Deployment – instant start in seconds Fuel Heavy military fuels, low visual and smoke signature Deployment Aircraft carriers, combat operations, NATO 3.
