KDE Direct News Releases

KDE Direct, a leading manufacturer of brushless motors, electronics, and components for the UAV market has announced it will be attending AUVSI 2019. At the event KDE Direct will be releasing its newest industrial motor the KDE13218XF-105 and 14S rated UBEC the KDE-UBECUVC.

KDE Direct, a leading manufacturer of brushless motors, electronics, and components for the UAV market has announced the launch of a technology standard communication protocol. The KDECAN Protocol will allow UVC series ESCs to actively monitor critical system components, increase redundancy, and set the standard for operational safety and innovation in the drone industry.

As the needs of our clients evolve, so do we. At KDE Direct, we know that our clients value rugged construction, components with longevity, and detailed visual data of their flights. That’s why we’re excited to announce our new UAS UVC electronic speed controller (ESC) series and device manager.

Electric vehicles aren’t as new as you’d think. The first electric vehicle, a tricycle, was engineered in 1881 by French inventor Gustave Trouve. This was made possible by the creation of his electric motor, allowing Trouve to reduce the weight of motor components to obtain an impressive energy output.

Engineers since have spent years trying to improve electric vehicles. After all, they consume less fuel, resulting in lower greenhouse emissions and better gas mileage for drivers. Many of these attempts, especially those surrounding electric cars, focus extensively on trying to improve the batteries. But maybe it’s time to reflect on what made Trouve’s tricycle so revolutionary.

Resistant to harsh elements and shocks, the compact and durable design of brushless DC motors makes them ideal for aerospace applications, from powering rovers to drones. That’s why NASA has been using brushless motors in their aerospace missions for over 50 years. Take a look at NASA’s rich history with brushless motors and get a sneak peek at what’s coming in the next few years!
