Electric Speed Controllers – MGM COMPRO https://mgm-compro.com Tue, 04 Jun 2024 10:21:05 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://mgm-compro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/cropped-favicon-32x32.png Electric Speed Controllers – MGM COMPRO https://mgm-compro.com 32 32 ESCs for the NASA´s project https://mgm-compro.com/escs-for-the-nasas-project/ Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:27:07 +0000 http://mgm-compro.com/?p=1653 NASA’s main goal of this project is development of a brand new fully electric airplane, which may totally change the direction of electric aviation.

Look at for specification about this NASA’s airplane, which is called LEAPTech:

  • Conception of this airplane comes from Tecnam P2006T
  • Performance of this propulsion system can reach up to 240 kW,
  • 18 integrated electric motors in special wing
  • Electric motors are controlled by industrial brushless ESC from HBC series by MGM COMPRO
  • The wing is made of carbon composite
  • Batteries LiFePo4 (Lithium-Ferrum-Phosphate)
  • The airplane is for 4 passengers
  • Testing completed in early 2016

Milestone in electric aviation

The plan for this year is mainly testing of an experimental wing, developing and using a new simulator to look at controls and handling characteristics of the aircraft. After this step should be everything ready to proceed to testing flights.

We are convinced that there is a huge future potential for NASA’s project. The gathered knowledge might be a milestone for the development of electric aviation. From our point of view is dependence on fossil fuels slowly coming to an end. This is why we are very proud to be part of it with deliveries of our top ”Electric Speed Controllers (ESCs)”.

]]> SportStar EPOS +: Project of Evektor https://mgm-compro.com/project-sportstar-epos/ Sat, 12 Jul 2014 06:18:43 +0000 http://mgm-compro.com/?p=1491 The company Evektor in cooperation with its partners presented a fully electric airplane suitable for sports flying. Original solution of a propulsion system was developed to meet all necessary certifications.

Technical data, which are worth noticing

  • Top speed 260km/h”’ (travelling speed 160km/h)
  • Take-off weight 600kg”’ (weight of airplane without batteries is 285kg)
  • Liquid-cooled Motor Rotex Electric, RE REB 90-5 with 75 kW (102 HP)
  • Propeller diameter 1,625m, 3-blade composite
  • Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) MGM COMPRO HBC 400400, max. current peaks 300A
  • Special airborne BMS by MGM COMPRO
  • Battery Accu-Pack Kokam 80Ah, 90S
  • Unique 6kW balance charger by MGM COMPRO

Evektor EPOS airplane proudly represents these advantages

  • Low operational costs – 75% lower than with combustion engine
  • Compact propulsion system reduces number of motor components by 90%. That’s why it’s almost maintenance-free and very reliable.
  • Intuitive and simple control of propulsion system. It is not necessary to check the temperature of cylinders and richness of fuel mixture.
  • Electric motors are environment friendly. The airplane itself does not produce any pollution.
  • The airplane EPOS makes very low noise, which allows using it even on urban airports. This advantage increases the comfort for passengers as well.

Propulsion system of the airplane EPOS is an electric, almost maintenance-free, high-performance equivalent of the engine Rotax 912, which is the most common combustion engine for this airplane. The electric unit developed by Evektor and built on components by MGM COMPRO may soon become a standard electric propulsion system for LSA airplanes.
