ePropelled, a global leader in advanced propulsion and energy management technologies, announces the availability of its USA-assembled Falcon product line. The Falcon series offers compact propulsion systems with power ratings from 1kW to 20kW, designed to meet the demands of diverse uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) applications.

The introduction of the Falcon line coincides with significant changes in global trade. Notably, China’s regulators recently restricted Chinese manufacturers from exporting UAV propulsion components exceeding 16kW. This development, along with escalating restrictions by the US government on Chinese-made drone devices, creates a critical need for non-China supplied alternatives in the global drone propulsion market.

ePropelled’s Falcon line, with its expansive power range and industry-leading performance, is ideally positioned to meet the growing demand for fully compliant UAV propulsion solutions.

Nick Grewal, CEO of ePropelled, says, “Our Falcon product line exemplifies ePropelled’s commitment to innovation and excellence in propulsion technology. By offering power options from 1kW to 20kW -- alongside our ePConnected™ protocol for comprehensive control, instrumentation, and data-sharing services -- Falcon delivers unparalleled performance and efficiency.

“As global regulatory landscapes shift, ePropelled provides cutting-edge drone solutions that not only meet the most stringent industry requirements, but also help our customers stay ahead of compliance challenges with products fully assembled in the USA.”

ePropelled’s Falcon products include a range of five electric propulsion motors, five intelligent motor controllers (up to 98-percent-efficient), and a powerful and intelligent electronic engine starter motor controller adept for hybrid UAV power requirements.

Quiet and efficient, Falcon products include ePConnected™ real-time performance data services that enable a range of useful applications and analytics. UAV designers, for example, can create custom applications via an open API and set parameter alerts based on specific uses and mission profiles.

Superior cooling and power efficiency allow powerful Falcon motors to operate longer, in thinner air, and at higher altitudes. Increasingly, UAV designers are seeking those exacting attributes from more powerful motors and across higher voltages.

“Electric drone engines, especially powerful and flexible solutions such as those of ePropelled, are a growth market for multiple reasons and provide an excellent investment opportunity. For example, in both civil and military use case scenarios, reduced sound is essential to reduce sound pollution and detection,” says Michael Rowe, Industry Analyst and Vice President and Global Practice Leader, Aerospace & Defence, at Frost & Sullivan.

“We are seeing a growing demand for drone propulsion systems up to 20kW and 106V,” adds Philip Hicks, an Industry Analyst at Pravo Consulting. “ePropelled’s Falcon devices meet these demands, even as China has capped all of its drone motor exports at 16kW.”

The global UAV propulsion systems market is expected to grow from $6.17 billion in 2024 to $8.19 billion by 2029, reflecting a CAGR of 5.84 percent, according to a recent report by Mordor Research.
