ROTRON AERO
Advanced Propulsion Systems for UAVs, VTOL & Tactical Drones
About Us
Rotron Aero is a global leader in the development and manufacturing of advanced rotary engines (Wankel concept) for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Vertical Take-Off and Landing platforms (VTOLs), and light aircraft. As a key component of the Ondas Autonomous Systems division, Rotron engines are directly integrated into the group's new generation of autonomous drones – providing unparalleled range and endurance that battery-powered systems cannot replicate.
Key Technological Advantages
| Feature | Conventional Piston Engine | Rotron (Wankel) |
| Power / Weight | Standard | Extremely High – more power from a smaller block |
| Vibrations | High – damages optics and electronics | Zero – smooth rotary motion |
| Fuel | Gasoline only | Multi-fuel – gasoline, Jet A-1, JP5, JP8 (NATO) |
| Lifespan | Shorter TBO, more moving parts | Longer TBO – minimal moving parts |
| Drone Endurance | Hours | 24+ hours (MALE category) |
Product Portfolio
1. Rotron Skylancer – Premium Endurance System
Highly integrated, twin-rotor tactical propulsion system for long-range unmanned aerial vehicles (MALE – Medium Altitude Long Endurance category). It utilizes an advanced closed hybrid cooling system and is tuned for long cruising at extremely low fuel consumption. In-flight endurance of over 24 hours.
| Endurance | Over 24 hours in flight |
| Cooling | Advanced closed hybrid system |
| Control | Redundant digital architecture – civil and military airspace |
| Category | MALE UAV, strategic reconnaissance |
2. Rotron Defendor – Military-Grade System with High Durability
Military-Grade tactical propulsion system designed for the harshest combat conditions and operations from aircraft carriers. Robust aluminum-titanium encapsulation with complete EMP and EMI shielding. Instant start in seconds.
| Durability | EMP + EMI shielding, aluminum-titanium casing |
| Start | Rapid Deployment – instant start in seconds |
| Fuel | Heavy military fuels, low visual and smoke signature |
| Deployment | Aircraft carriers, combat operations, NATO |
3. RT300 Series – Single-Rotor Engines
Compact, lightweight power units for small to medium tactical drones, endurance UAVs, and target training aircraft.
| Model | Cooling | Performance / Application |
| RT300-L | Liquid | ~30 HP, high constant load missions |
| RT300-A | Air | Maximum weight savings, simplified design |
4. RT600 Series – Twin-Rotor Engines
High-performance propulsion systems for heavy tactical UAVs, cargo drones, and unmanned VTOL helicopters. Liquid cooling circuit ensures stable temperature even during static hovering.
| Model | Cooling | Performance / Application |
| RT600-LC | Liquid | 60–70 HP, stable hovering for VTOL drones |
| RT600-HF | Liquid + preheating | Optimized for heavy kerosene fuels |
5. Rotron DT150 – Specialized Military Engine
Unique single-rotor engine for high-speed target drones and highly dynamic platforms. Designed for enormous G-forces during sharp maneuvers and extreme speeds.
| Application | Target drones, high dynamics, extreme speeds |
| Key Feature | Instant throttle response, minimalist durable design |
6. Digital Control – ECU & EFI
The intelligent Digital ECU control unit ensures automatic start and advanced diagnostics. The patented EFI system automatically adjusts the fuel mixture according to altitude – operation above 5,000 m without loss of performance.
| Digital ECU | Automatic start, diagnostics, engine protection |
| EFI system | Automatic mixture adjustment according to altitude – operation above 5,000 m |
7. Starter-Generator Kits
Compact modules on the engine shaft – function as an electric starter and switch to generator mode (28V / 50V, power up to several kW) to power radars, jammers, and optics.
