📘 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The QS55A Integrated Start-Motor-Generator Engine is UAVPOWER’s high-performance propulsion system designed for medium-class tactical UAVs requiring substantial power output, onboard electrical generation, and exceptional flight stability.
With 54.5 hp (40.1 kW) rated power and advanced electronic injection, the QS55A ensures efficient combustion, reliable ignition, and strong acceleration throughout its 1500–6500 RPM operational band.

Its horizontal-opposed cylinder architecture significantly reduces vibration, improving ISR payload clarity, avionics stability, and flight endurance under high dynamic loads.
The integrated start-motor-generator provides rapid engine startup and delivers 2 kW @ 28 V continuous power for onboard electronics, datalinks, and payload systems—ideal for mission-intensive UAV operations.

Engineered with a quick-disassembly integrated structure, the QS55A supports fast field maintenance and minimizes downtime during continuous mission cycles.
Its auto-brake shutdown feature engages immediately after engine cutoff, preventing propeller rotation and maximizing landing and ground safety.

Weighing under 22.5 kg, the QS55A achieves an optimal power-to-weight ratio for 150–300 kg UAV platforms requiring long endurance, high climb rates, or heavy payload capacity.

An optional high-thrust carbon fiber propeller delivers >89 kgf static thrust and >60 kgf dynamic thrust @ 50 m/s, adding only +1.0 kg, making it ideal for high-altitude and high-load mission profiles.
