ZT-T500 500cc Heavy-Duty UAV Gasoline Engine

Core Product Advantages

This ZT-T500 unit is a large-displacement heavy-lift UAV engine, high-power drone gasoline engine and industrial-grade UAV gasoline engine specially developed for large civil fixed-wing and heavy payload VTOL unmanned aerial vehicles. It outperforms small-displacement power units in load capacity, sustained flight stability and mission compatibility, with core competitive advantages listed below:
  1. Extraordinary High Thrust & Heavy Payload Support

    With 500cc large displacement, the engine generates up to 60kg static thrust at 100m altitude, providing abundant power reserve for large UAV platforms carrying heavy aerial survey cameras, multi-spectral sensors and bulk cargo payloads. It effectively shortens takeoff rolling distance and improves climbing performance under full-load flight conditions.

  2. Optimized Combustion Efficiency & Balanced Fuel Consumption

    Despite its strong power output, the engine adopts optimized internal gas circulation structure to balance power performance and fuel economy. Its hourly fuel consumption is controlled at 13.5L/h under rated working status, realizing longer single-flight mission duration compared with equal-thrust traditional piston UAV engines.

  3. Ultra-Wide Compatibility for All Civil UAV Platforms

    It supports flexible matching with multi-rotor heavy-lift drones, long-range fixed-wing aircraft and hybrid VTOL industrial UAVs. The standard mechanical structure matches mainstream propeller models and common flight control systems on the market, greatly reducing secondary modification difficulty for UAV manufacturers.

  4. Aviation-Grade Robust Durability for Long Continuous Operation

    Key cylinder components are precision cast with high-strength aviation aluminum alloy, reinforced internal crankshaft structure improves anti-fatigue performance. It can run stably for dozens of hours of continuous daily field operations, adapting to complex environments such as high temperature, dust and humid mountain areas.

  5. Precise Throttle Response & Stable Flight Maneuverability

    The engine maintains sensitive torque output within the full 2500–6000rpm operating speed range, delivering rapid throttle feedback during climbing, hovering and acceleration. Stable power output eliminates flight jitter, ensuring clear imaging for high-precision aerial mapping and industrial inspection tasks.

  6. Customizable Power Generation & Electrical Configuration

    Two generator power options are available for selection: standard 350W built-in alternator and optional upgraded 500W generator, meeting different power supply demands of airborne sensors, gimbals and data transmission equipment. The whole machine supports 24V electrical system matching for large UAV electrical architecture.

  7. Easy Integration & Low Maintenance Cost

    All connecting interfaces adopt unified industrial standard sizes, compatible with mainstream UAV mounting brackets, exhaust assemblies and cooling accessories. The lubrication system adopts a simple 20:1 mixing ratio design, daily maintenance only requires regular oil replacement and air filter cleaning, without complicated professional calibration work.

Product Overview

1. Product Positioning & Large-Displacement Performance Edge

The ZT-T500 UAV gasoline engine is a heavy-duty two-stroke piston power unit exclusively oriented to medium and large civil industrial unmanned aerial platforms. Compared with 120cc, 170cc small and medium-displacement drone gasoline engines, its enlarged 500cc cylinder volume brings decisive advantages in maximum takeoff weight, payload capacity and plateau flight power retention.

Designed for long-duration commercial aerial missions, the engine balances peak thrust and continuous stable output. It avoids frequent power attenuation and overheating problems that easily occur in small-displacement engines under long-term full-load heavy-lift operation, becoming the preferred power solution for enterprise-level UAV operation teams undertaking large-area mapping, long-distance logistics transportation and full-day industrial inspection work.

2. All-Round Civil Mission Compatibility & Environmental Adaptability

This drone gasoline engine is fully designed for civilian commercial scenarios only, without any tactical function configuration. It fits a wide range of professional industrial applications: ultra-large area aerial topographic mapping, high-rise power pipeline & bridge infrastructure inspection, forest ecological resource patrol, post-disaster terrain monitoring, large-scale agricultural crop seeding and pesticide spraying, and medium-long distance light goods fixed-wing delivery missions.

The wide operating speed range of 2500–6000rpm covers low-speed stable hovering, medium-speed long-distance cruise and high-speed rapid climbing three core flight modes. Whether operating on plain low-altitude terrain or mountain plateau areas, it can maintain consistent thrust output to guarantee stable mission execution.

3. Modular Electrical System & Standardized Structural Design

The ZT-T500 UAV engine integrates a built-in alternator module with two optional power specifications: standard 350W for basic airborne equipment power supply, and optional upgraded 500W generator for high-power multi-spectral cameras and long-distance data transmission modules. The whole machine supports 24V vehicle electrical system, which can be seamlessly connected with large UAV flight control and power management systems.

The engine’s overall structure adopts standardized modular layout, with unified propeller installation flange, cooling pipeline interface and exhaust connecting size. All core spare parts are universal, supporting fast replacement during field maintenance. The dry weight of the whole machine is controlled at 17kg, matching the load balance design of most large VTOL and fixed-wing airframes without excessive weight transformation of the aircraft.8.webp

  • Multi-Layer Shockproof Reinforced Wooden Case Packaging

    Each ZT-T500 UAV engine is wrapped with thick shock-absorbing EPE foam for crankshaft, generator module, cylinder head and other precision core components. The whole unit is fixed inside a reinforced solid wooden case with anti-collision strips around the box wall to prevent collision, extrusion, moisture and dust damage during cross-border sea, air and land long-distance transportation. All exposed pipelines and wiring harnesses are individually sealed with transparent plastic protective film.

  • Complete Standard Matching Accessories for Every Shipment

    Standard delivery package includes full set of mounting fixing gaskets, propeller connecting flanges, lubricating oil measuring container, special maintenance tool kit and detailed English operation & maintenance manual. Optional auxiliary parts such as silent exhaust pipe, high-flow cooling fan and customized lengthened mounting bracket can be delivered together with the engine according to customer bulk order demands.

  • Global Multimodal Logistics & Complete Customs Clearance Documents

    We cooperate with professional industrial equipment freight forwarders to provide door-to-door land delivery, sea freight and air freight services for global civil UAV manufacturers and commercial aerial operation service providers. Each shipment is attached with official commercial invoice, detailed packing list and factory full-load bench performance test certificate to simplify cross-border customs clearance procedures and avoid document delays.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What maximum takeoff weight of civil UAV platforms can this ZT-T500cc UAV engine support?

A1: This heavy-lift drone gasoline engine is designed for large industrial unmanned aircraft. Under standard matching propeller and rated operating conditions, it can stably support civil UAV platforms with maximum takeoff weight ranging from 120kg to 200kg, including heavy multi-rotor drones, long-range fixed-wing survey aircraft and large hybrid VTOL cargo UAVs. It is not suitable for small consumer-grade aerial photography drones or miniature racing UAVs with low load capacity.

Q2: What lubrication mixing ratio should I follow for this two-stroke UAV gasoline engine, and can I upgrade the built-in generator power?

A2: The standard gas-oil mixing lubrication ratio for daily operation is 20:1 (gasoline mixed with dedicated two-stroke lubricating oil). Ordinary civilian 92# unleaded gasoline meets all mission fuel demands without special aviation fuel. If you need higher power supply for high-power airborne payloads, you can select the optional upgraded 500W generator configuration before placing orders; standard 350W version cannot be modified on-site after delivery. Complete fuel mixing steps and generator parameter matching guidelines are recorded in the attached English user manual.
