KDE Direct News Releases

The latest RotorDrone Magazine (September/October 2015) has our new advertisement posted on page 53 and our equipment can also be seen throughout the magazine, including the editorial on the AgBot from Aerial Technology International titled "Green Drones" on pages 73 through 76.  The KDE Direct Multi-Rotor Propeller Blade Series and Propeller Blade Adapters are available online and through the registered Vendor network, ranging from the popular 15.5" x 5.3 category (in both dual- and triple-blade format) up to the industrial heavy-lift application 27.5" x 8.9 series for high-thrust and long-duration flight performance.    

The MultiRotor Pilot Magazine (August/September 2015) presents an excellent review of the KDE7208XF-110 Brushless Motor and KDEXF-UAS75HV ESC combination, bringing together the ultimate and reliable system for long-duration flights.  Make sure and check out MultiRotor Pilot Magazine online, and this is a magazine you don't want to miss if you are looking to get into the commercial-level UAS business.

Welcome to the eleventh (11th) episode of the KDE Direct Design Engineering videos. This video is highly-detailed and goes through the Propeller Blade Series and the Engineering logic behind the design and production methodology for Multi-Rotor applications. Also included is a short introduction to the performance of the Electronic Speed Controller technology (UAS and UASHVC series) and more details can be viewed in the KDE Direct Design Engineering - Episode XII: UAS HVC Electronic Speed Controllers (New Generation).The video starts with a presentation by Patrick Koegler, Owner and Chief Engineer, for KDE Direct.
