Mission-Ready Propulsion: The NW-88 Twin-Cylinder Engine

Combat-proven reliability for heavy-lift, long-endurance unmanned aircraft

Stop compromising on endurance. The NW-88 delivers 7.3 horsepower from a compact 88 cc displacement, specifically optimized for the 75 to 150-lb vehicle class. This American-made system runs on multiple fuels, providing the versatility required for remote operations. It is built to sustain flight at low altitudes while carrying heavier payloads. It simply performs.

Every component meets AS9100 aerospace standards, ensuring your platform stays in the air longer. At a weight1 of 7.8 kg ± 200 grams, this engine offers a superior power-to-weight ratio that translates directly into faster cruise speeds and higher climb rates. It is a pragmatic solution for operators who prioritize mission success over corporate jargon.
