FAQs
What maintenance interval are your engines designed to?
6,000 flight hours
Why do you use liquid cooling when your competitors use air cooling?
Liquid cooling provides the controlled thermal environment required for sustained high‑power operation in compact machines, without the performance and aerodynamic penalties of air‑cooled designs
Why are hybrid‑electric architectures becoming the industry standard?
Hybrid architectures reduce fuel burn and emissions while preserving range and payload by optimising power flow across the whole energy‑transfer system, rather than relying on batteries alone.
Is the D500 suitable for power generation and APU‑style operation?
Yes, the D500 is designed for continuous, high‑efficiency power generation within hybrid systems, including roles traditionally served by auxiliary power units.
How does the D500 integrate into hybrid powertrain architectures?
The D500 is designed to integrate cleanly with engines, gearboxes and electrical systems as part of a system‑level hybrid architecture.
Is the D500 compatible with Evolito motor control?
Yes, the D500 is designed to operate seamlessly with Evolito’s MCUs as part of an integrated, aerospace‑grade power‑generation system. Link to Motor Controls.
Can the D500 power output be increased?
Yes, higher power levels can be achieved by stacking multiple D500 motors within a common, scalable architecture.
