Advanced Micro Turbines Find Footing in USA

350 Pound-feet of Thrust Now Available in a Small, Lightweight Package

UAV Propulsion Tech signed an agreement with AMT-Advanced Micro Turbines to begin marketing their tiny little turbine engines to the UAV market stateside.

Advanced Micro Turbines hails from Geldrop, in the Netherlands, making them a bit of an outsider to the US domestic market. AMT has found plenty of appreciators around the world already, since their small scale engines make for superb high-output powerplants in small aircraft. AMT got their start with the Pegasus gas turbine in 1994, making a splash with reliability and output before moving on to bigger motors like their Titan, Nike and Lynx engines. Across the board, AMT units sport the company's "revolutionary design and unique axial flow turbine achieving exceptional thrust-to-weight ratios with low fuel consumption and rapid acceleration times." Each can run just fine on Jet A1, JP5, JP8 or diesel with nary a complaint, offering thrust from 51.7 to 352.7 pound-feet of thrust.

Bob Schmidt, CEO and founder of UAV Propulsion Tech said, "I am excited to be working with Bennie and Anita van de Goor to bring their world class advanced micro turbines to the US UAV market to meet growing demand for counter UAS and advanced high speed UAV solutions" Bob went on to say, "The addition of AMT's micro turbine solutions to UAV Propulsion Tech will allow us to continue to provide the best UAV hardware solutions for our customers. I am looking forward to working with AMT to provide their propulsion solutions to the growing US market for micro turbines."

Bennie van de Goor, CEO and founder of AMT Netherlands said they found their perfect match stateside. "We wanted to work with a UAV solution provider like UAV Propulsion Tech because of their propulsion and UAV market experience in the US. UAV Propulsion Tech is a perfect partner to help us increase our visibility in the market and bring these solutions to their expanding US UAV customer base." Bennie went on to say, "Bob's experience as a mechanical engineer and knowledge of propulsion market demands, will allow us to provide and further develop world-class micro turbine solutions that meet challenging requirements."
