Introducing the RW1-79: A Cutting-Edge Auxiliary Power Unit
The RW1-79 stands out as a state-of-the-art auxiliary power unit (APU) that employs a Wankel rotary engine design,featuring an integrated generator capable of producing 11kW. this unit is specifically engineered for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft that demand substantial electrical power.
Power and Versatility
With a continuous power output of 11kW and a peak capacity of 16kW, the RW1-79 is equipped with a distribution controller that divides this power into four distinct groups, each containing four channels operating at 48V. This configuration allows for flexible power arrangements, enabling combinations of 96, 144, 192, or even 384 volts, catering to various operational needs.
Durability Meets Innovation
Constructed from advanced materials and utilizing modern manufacturing techniques, the RW1-79 addresses common challenges associated with traditional Wankel rotary systems. The exterior is treated with hard anodization and primed for enhanced durability, while all connectors are sealed to meet military specifications, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.
