Northwest UAV Expands NW-44 Engine Production
From initial design through development and manufacturing, Northwest UAV created the NW-44 multi-fuel single-cylinder UAV engine to fill a gap that owner and president Chris Harris recognised in the market – reliable, fuel-efficient engines for small, professional-grade UAV.
As a proven engine with over 1,000 combat flight hours logged, the NW-44 multi-fuel engine has already significantly expanded market reach since January of this year, with large purchase orders being made to support Tier 2 UAVs. This increased demand for the NW-44 engine has spurred other changes and growth at Northwest UAV as well as additional staff and another 30,000 sq/ft of production space.
“With the NW-44 multi-fuel engine, these smaller UAVs now have a plug-n-play option built specifically for the long flight hours and extreme conditions they’re flying in. This recent increased adoption of the NW-44 engine across Tier 2 UAVs simply demonstrates the real need for this engine in the professional UAS (unmanned aerial systems) market.”
The increased demand for the NW-44 single-cylinder multi-fuel engine has meant more than just increased manufacturing on the Northwest UAV campus. With a few other large projects in the works, Northwest UAV has grown to over 100 full-time employees and has begun the process of adding new production facilities to their campus, expanding on the 28,000 square feet of building space they already have.
