VTOL Systems
Electric propulsion for VTOL platforms.
Made in Germany · ISO 9001 · Since 2011
Motor, inverter, Li-ion battery and embedded software – engineered as one coordinated system for your application, developed and built in Regensburg. Fewer external interfaces, one team accountable from concept to series.
Our Services
From feasibility to series production – seven capabilities, one team. Because we build each component ourselves, they fit together by design, not by compromise.

Feasibility studies and sizing – the right topology for your mission.
