The CR Flight Spirit drone motor series is a brand new technology created, designed and manufacture right in the USA. A brand new technology that allows a single motor to drive counter rotating props without using any gears. They have integrated what they call a Rotary Transformer that allows them to drive both the rotor and the armature in opposite directions at the same time, transmitting power through the rotary transformer. This allows the motors to run much cooler as they are rotating the armature which allows it to act as an axial compressor sucking air through the motor and cooling the windings dramatically. This American made and patented technology will revolutionize the drone market, while having application in many other markets such as HVAC, Wind generation, etc. The increase in Thrust efficiency/watt is what actually makes this a technology that can allow a lot of drones that have failed to live up to their hype, to succeed. Because of the cooling of the motor, these motors are warrantied for 500 hrs. and should be able to make it to a 1000 hr. TBO, when they can be rebuilt at a fraction of the initial cost of the motors, which dramatically drops the cost of flying drones which presently have motors that last in the 50 hr. range.

The product line includes a small V-10 motor capable of 10 lbs of sustained thrust, which can replace the motors found on the DJI M600 drone used in many Lidar applications. The second product is a V-20 capable of 20 lbs of sustained thrust which will work on many of the larger commercial drones flying as a X-8 allowing them to drop to 4 motors and significantly dropping the wattage required to keep it in the air. The Third product is a V-50 capable of sustaining 50 lbs of thrust at 48 volts and 65 amps or 20 lbs of thrust at 18 amps. This would be for the larger commercial drones that require long loiter time and possible hybrid power where they can run on the generator alone. We also have two new products that are just being developed that can sustain 100 lbs of thrust and 220 lbs of thrust, respectively. These products will be out in the next 6-9 months. It’s nice to have a drone motor manufacturer in the USA again. Go USA.
