2024: Production start-up
In September 2024, mass production of highly efficient electric motors for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) was launched in Bashkiria. The project was implemented by young scientists of the advanced engineering school (PISH) "Motors of the Future" of the Ufa University of Science and Technology together with specialists from ETK LLC. The new ED-BAS-4950/400 motor, equipped with a magnetic circuit made of magnetically soft material, is ready for release and has already passed all the necessary tests, confirming its effectiveness and resistance to unfavorable operating conditions.
The head of Bashkortostan, Radiy Khabirov, said that the launch of mass production of electric motors for drones is part of a long-term program for the development of the unmanned aircraft systems industry. This program is designed for the period until 2030 and includes cooperation with business, universities and scientific organizations. As part of this work, it is planned to develop and introduce into production at least 300 new advanced production technologies in the region, including in the field of unmanned aircraft systems.
The new electric motor will ED-BAS-4950/400 become the main power plant for Supercam S350/SX350 unmanned aircraft manufactured by the Unmanned Systems Group of Companies. With a weight of less than half a kilogram and compact dimensions, the engine produces a maximum power of 2700 W and has a speed of 7800 rpm. This indicator allows the use of the electric motor in various conditions, providing drones with high performance and reliability.
According to the Acting Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of Bashkortostan and Minister of Industry, power and Innovation Alexander Sheldyaev, PSH "Motors of the Future" has demonstrated its viability and high level of training of specialists in a short period of time. Sheldyaev noted that the school's research teams are engaged in real world-class engineering tasks, creating products that are in demand on the Russian market of import independence.[1]
