Evolito is a manufacturer of innovative electric motors and controls that are suitable across the aerospace sector, for electric and hybrid applications such as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), Novel UAM (Urban Air Mobility) airframes, Helicopters, as well as single or multi-propeller fixed-wing, general aviation aircraft.
Our commitment to engineering excellence fuels our mission to supply top-tier electric motors and motor controls for unmanned systems and all-electric aerospace propulsion and generation applications. We understand the challenges our customers face, such as achieving high performance with minimal maintenance and cost constraints. Our lightweight, scalable, and cost-effective components are designed to support easy integration.
Evolito was spun out in 2021 by YASA, the world-leading pioneer of automotive axial-flux electric motors acquired by Mercedes-Benz in July 2021, to exclusively commercialize next-generation electric motor technology for the rapidly growing aerospace market. We have a high volume, partially automated production facility and full in-house testing capability.
Axial Flux Motors
Evolito’s axial flux motors are revolutionising aerospace with their unprecedented compactness and lightweight design. Our e-motors deliver superior torque and power densities, with optimised efficiency at propeller speeds.
Key benefits
- Innovative Technology:Â Axial Flux electric motors feature a yokeless design and segmented magnet architecture to reduce weight, improve reliability and increase performance.
- Versatile Variations: Our motors are available in 1×3 and true 2×3 phase variations for enhanced safety.
- Exceptional Specifications: D250 model: Peak specific torque of ~16Nm/kg, ~13kg weight, ∅370mm x 125mm dimensions.
- Enhanced Efficiency:Â Direct drive suitability simplifies system architecture, reduces weight, and boosts overall efficiency.
Motor Control Units
At Evolito, our Motor Controller Units (MCUs), offer integrated inverter and control functionality up to Design Assurance Level A (DAL A). Whilst designed to complement and optimise system performance when coupled with our electric motors, they have an open software interface that enables use with other motors in standalone applications.
Why Choose Evolito MCUs?
