RCV Engines secures Export License Exemption for Unmanned Systems
RCV Engines, a leading producer of compact multi-fuel engines tailored for unmanned systems, has recently achieved a critically important milestone. After extensive negotiations with the Department for International Trade, the company has successfully had its products removed from the UK’s export control list.
This change marks a pivotal moment for RCV, which has faced challenges due to the necessity of obtaining export licenses for international shipments. Such requirements have previously hindered straightforward trade with numerous countries.
with this new development,RCV is excited to announce that all of its current engine models are now exempt from export controls.

Streamlined Export Process
RCV engines can now facilitate exports without the need for a Single Individual Export license (SIEL). This means that customers will no longer need to provide an end-user statement, effectively eliminating the associated paperwork.
Significant Benefits for RCV and Its Clients
The implications of this development are profound for both RCV and its clientele:
- Elimination of potential shipping delays
- Reduction in bureaucratic hurdles and paperwork
- Enhanced ease of transporting goods for maintenance or upgrades
- Overall simplification of trade processes
Innovative Engine Technology
RCV’s unique revolving valve combustion system is particularly well-suited for small fixed-wing UAVs, VTOL multi-rotor UAS, and hybrid power generation applications, showcasing the company’s commitment to innovation in the unmanned systems sector.
