 Product Overview

The ZT-T222CC is a professional civilian-grade drone gasoline engine, exclusively designed for commercial unmanned aerial vehicles without military application scenarios. Adopting mature twin-cylinder horizontal opposed two-stroke structure, this UAV engine balances lightweight body, stable thrust output and low operating cost, serving medium-load industrial flight demands including aerial mapping, crop spraying, environmental monitoring and light cargo delivery.

This drone gasoline engine provides two complete assembly configurations to fit different budget and altitude operation demands. The carburetor version features simple mechanical structure and low maintenance cost for plain low-altitude operations. The advanced ECU EFI version realizes real-time air-fuel ratio adjustment, adapting to thin air environments above 1800m altitude while significantly lowering fuel consumption. The optional integrated generator solves power supply demand of high-precision airborne equipment, eliminating extra heavy backup batteries for UAV platforms.UAV engine

Core Functional & Structural Features

Dual Customizable Configuration Choices

Two independent complete setups are available for selection to match diverse industrial flight projects:

Carburetor + Electric Start Standard Version: Cost-effective assembly with intuitive mechanical throttle response. Hourly fuel consumption reaches 8.3L, simple daily maintenance, perfectly suited for low-altitude farm spraying and short-distance aerial photography drones.

ECU EFI + Electric Start + Generator Premium Version: Intelligent electronic fuel injection system automatically calibrates fuel supply based on altitude, temperature and engine load. Fuel consumption reduces to only 6.2L per hour, stable operation under high-altitude low air pressure conditions. Built-in generator module continuously outputs power for multi-type aerial payloads.

Superior Lightweight & Stable Thrust Performance

The whole core engine unit only weighs 4860g, with separate exhaust pipe (470g) and igniter (380g) for flexible modular assembly. It generates 45kg static thrust at 100m near sea level, and retains 41kg stable thrust at 1800m high altitude. The steady thrust output guarantees reliable climbing, cruising and descending performance when carrying medium payloads, avoiding power attenuation interference to aerial survey data collection.

Precision Aviation-Grade Ignition & Combustion System

Optimized bore × stroke size 45mm × 35mm with 7.6:1 compression ratio maximizes combustion efficiency and power conversion. Equipped with universal NGK CM6 spark plugs, the wide-range igniter supports 4.8V–8.4V input voltage, ensuring consistent ignition spark under variable power supply conditions. Factory-calibrated idle speed locks at 1000rpm, preventing accidental stall during low-speed hovering and aerial inspection tasks. Lubrication standard adopts 30:1 gasoline-to-two-stroke oil mixing ratio for long-term internal component protection.

 Frequently Asked Questions (2 Exclusive FAQ)

What key differences exist between carburetor and EFI versions of ZT-T222CC drone gasoline engine, how to pick the suitable model?

A: The carburetor variant has lower purchase cost and simpler maintenance structure, consuming 8.3L fuel per hour, which works steadily for operations below 1000m altitude such as plain farm spraying drones. The ECU EFI electronic injection version features intelligent adaptive fuel adjustment for high-altitude thin air environments, fuel consumption drops to 6.2L/h to extend flight time significantly, and comes with integrated generator. If your operation area exceeds 1500m altitude or you require long-endurance aerial monitoring, the EFI model is highly recommended.

Is the built-in generator of EFI version ZT-T222CC UAV engine able to power multiple high-power payloads simultaneously?

A: Yes, the integrated generator module of the EFI configuration can provide stable continuous power for combined payload equipment including aerial LiDAR scanners, thermal imaging cameras, heavy steering servos and long-distance data transmission modules. The internal voltage stabilization circuit avoids current fluctuation interference to precision survey equipment during engine speed changes. If you only install basic mapping cameras and small servos, the carburetor version without generator can meet daily flight demands to cut extra costs.
