01 The mission

A better UAV starts with the whole propulsion system.

Florida EDF develops around your airframe, flight envelope, packaging limits, electrical architecture, acoustic targets, and manufacturing plan—not an off-the-shelf fan forced into the wrong mission.

02 Capabilities

One integrated
development loop.

Aerodynamics, motor integration, structures, and manufacturability developed as one system.

01

Aero & rotor

Duct, rotor, stator, and inlet geometry developed together for the intended operating range.

  • Mission-point optimization
  • CFD-informed iteration
  • Acoustic consideration
02

Electric integration

Motor, inverter, thermal, and control interfaces shaped into a propulsion package ready for UAV integration.

  • Voltage & power matching
  • Thermal architecture
  • Controls integration
03

Build & validate

Rapid prototypes and production-intent assemblies supported by disciplined UAV propulsion testing.

  • Prototype fabrication
  • Bench test support
  • Production transition

Optimized around cruise duty, thermal stability, and total energy use.

04 Development approach

From requirement
to repeatable hardware.

Clear gates keep the physics, schedule, and business case aligned.

05 Florida built

Rooted in the
Tampa Bay region.

Florida Electric Ducted Fan is an independent UAV propulsion development and manufacturing company. We work with drone manufacturers, airframe teams, and advanced UAS programs that need an EDF designed around their aircraft.
