Propulsion

The Axe features 8 brushless motors with 2 per wing end. The two motors are in a single housing and both power a single shaft allowing for redundancy in the motor unit. The duplex motor will produce 70 KW peak power, 50kw continuous power with a max thurst available of around 800 kg.

Advanced Flight Control System

The Axe flight control system is powered by the Veronte 4x from Embention. This system is certified to the highest aviation standards (DO178C / ED-12 and DO254 compliant). The Veronte 4x has been designed to have quadruple redundancy and the whole architecture is designed to avoid any single point of failure. The system has a proven track record within manned applications for electric vertical lift aircraft.

 

Battery Technology

The Axe high power Lithium batteries will feature both a solid state battery system and also a removable battery pack allowing the aircraft to continue flying without waiting for charging. The battery system has multiple redundancies allowing for continued flight in the event of a battery failure. We are still in discussions with multiple suppliers and batteries are the main component that is susceptible to change as technology is progressing rapidly in this space.
