Anzen EG-1250 and Sicura EG-1100 On Display
Germany-based Sky Power International will play host to American customer UAS Global Services on its booth at Xponential 2023 in Denver next month.
All Sky Power’s engines are developed and built at its headquarters near Frankfurt. Texas-based UAS Global Services will be showing its Anzen EG-1250 and Sicura EG-1100 helicopters at the event. The EG-1250, which boasts both electric and kerosene propulsion, features a Sky Power SP-180 SRE Wankel engine, integrated into a helicopter for the first time. Over five years in development, the aircraft’s versatile design allows for a variety of engine, payload and operational options. “Looking back, we found Sky Power to be the important partner in equipping this concept with the right propulsion unit. From the initial inquiry, through consultation, project planning and initial engine delivery, as well as during the integration of the propulsion system, we were very well supported by Sky Power International,” observed Curtis Youngblood, UAS Global Service Managing Director.
The Sicura EG-1100 is a single-rotor helicopter and the third generation of an internally-developed platform that has become the workhorse of the UAS Global Services fleet. It is available with both electric and kerosene engines and relies on Sky Power’s powerful and efficient SP-110 TS ROS twin-cylinder engine. The result is a helicopter is exceptionally stable in challenging environmental conditions – an important characteristic for image acquisition and LiDAR operations, for example. “Thanks to the large, vibration-isolated payload carriers, the customer can carry a variety of payloads in one flight,” Youngblood stated.
