NW-230 EFI Multi-Fuel Engine

NW-230 UAV Engine

Engineered for Flight. Built for Mission.

Endurance, Efficiency, and Power. Meet the NW-230 EFI, a multi-fuel internal combustion engine explicitly developed for Group III UAS platforms in the 90–160 kg maximum takeoff weight class, capable of operating on gasoline and heavy-fuel (JP-5/JP-8/Jet-A). Approved for export EAR99.

Design Objectives

PERFORMANCE
Delivers consistent performance across varied environmental conditions.
LIFECYCLE
Reduced lifecycle costs through extended service intervals.
ENDURANCE
Maximized endurance capability while minimizing overall fuel burn.
WEIGHT
Provides a robust propulsion solution tailored for medium-weight UAS.

Key Technical Features

The NW-230 is the most efficient and configurable UAV engine on the commercial market.

230 cc, electronically fuel injected (EFI), air cooled with Active Cylinder Head Temperature (ACHT) control.

Gasoline and heavy-fuel (JP-5, JP-8, Jet-A). Full authority digital engine controller with electronic fuel injection.

Optimized for Group III aircraft payload and endurance profiles. ~15 ft/lbs peak torque. Maximum RPM 7200. 15 to 18 Hp (depending on propeller/RPM).

TBO +500 hours (estimated). Extended mission duration with minimal specific fuel consumption.

High Time Between Overhaul (TBO) with reduced maintenance requirements.

Suitable for both long-endurance aircraft integration and auxiliary/portable power generation.

NOTE: Actual performance will vary depending on PMU configuration, application, propeller, fuel type, oil, environmental conditions, type of operation, direction of rotation, generator losses, and cowling configuration. Engine application is dependent on airframe factors including: Aerodynamics, propeller, and operational concept. Fuel is subject to regional and seasonal variations. The user is responsible for testing, validating, and defining operational limits with their local fuel source. Weight does not include Generator, Generator Controller/Rectifier, or Propeller. Includes: ECU, Muffler, Engine Mount, ACHT, and Engine Harness. Horsepower depending on propeller/RPM. Please contact NWUAV for guidance.
