Sky Power International will be showcasing advanced UAV propulsion systems at XPONENTIAL USA

We will present our latest propulsion technologies at the XPONENTIAL USA in Huntington Place, Detroit, Michigan between May 11 – 14, 2026, the key international platform for autonomous systems and robotics.

At the event, we will highlight a broad range of propulsion solutions tailored to the needs of modern UAV platforms, including high-efficiency 2-stroke and powerful Wankel engines. These systems are specifically designed to deliver outstanding endurance, high power density, and maximum operational reliability, which are essential for demanding ISR, SAR, and security missions. All propulsion systems are developed and produced in Germany, ensuring consistent quality and engineering excellence. Designed for operation in challenging environments, the engines offer an optimized balance between weight and performance, along with highly efficient combustion processes that extend mission range and reduce fuel consumption. The systems can be seamlessly integrated into fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and VTOL platforms, and are also available as part of hybrid propulsion architectures.

For UAV classes such as NATO Class 1 and DoD Group 2/3, our combustion-based propulsion solutions represent a reliable and field-proven alternative to electric systems, particularly in applications where extended flight time, operational resilience, and energy autonomy are critical. With its strong European manufacturing base, Sky Power International stands for supply chain reliability, technological independence, and close engineering collaboration. These factors are becoming increasingly important for UAV manufacturers and defense organizations worldwide in light of evolving geopolitical and industrial requirements.

At XPONENTIAL USA, we will focus on building partnerships with UAV manufacturers, system integrators, and defense stakeholders across North America. In addition to our standard engine portfolio, we will showcase its expertise in customized propulsion development, system integration, and performance optimization for next-generation unmanned systems. Sky Power International will be presenting its powerful propulsion technologies for the next generation of unmanned aerial systems at XPONENTIAL 2026 in Detroit, booth 26010.

Feel free to contact us for an appointment in Detroit.
