How do I choose between the I5, I7, I9, and I11?
The best way to choose between the I5, I7, I9, and I11 is to evaluate your platform size, takeoff weight, payload, endurance target, and required safety margin rather than looking at thrust alone. In most cases, the right solution is the model that meets the mission requirement with a practical margin instead of simply choosing the largest option.
Which series is designed for fixed-wing platforms?
The IV Series is the integrated propulsion system developed for fixed-wing cruise platforms. It emphasizes FOC control, real-time monitoring, and dual-input control capability, making it more suitable for fixed-wing cruise applications.
Which series is best suited for all-weather or harsh-environment operations?
The N Series is typically the preferred option for applications exposed to rain, dust, humidity, corrosion-prone environments, or other harsh operating conditions. It is developed for projects that place a higher priority on environmental protection, durability, and operational stability.
Which series is best suited for long-endurance missions?
If your platform is a multirotor, the I Series is the more suitable direction because it is designed around energy efficiency, long endurance, and optimization for specific payload and takeoff-weight conditions. If your platform is a fixed-wing cruise configuration, you should select the appropriate model from the IV Series instead.
What is the endurance of the I7 at different payload levels?
Reference test data: 2 kg: 120 min 3 kg: 77 min 4 kg: 65 min 5 kg: 60 min
Can the I Series propeller be replaced with the customer’s own propeller?
We recommend using the original matched propeller to ensure system compatibility and performance. If replacement is necessary, the propeller mount connecting the propeller and arm tube is removable, but compatibility should be confirmed first.
Can the I5 and I7 be combined with the IV Series for a 4+1 VTOL configuration?
No. The I Series is mainly designed for multirotor platforms, while the IV Series is intended for fixed-wing platforms. The propeller sizes of the I5 and I7 are not suitable for a 4+1 VTOL configuration with the IV Series.
What types of platforms is the I Series mainly designed for?
The I Series is mainly designed for commercial multirotor UAV platforms and focuses on integrated design, efficiency, reliability, and easier deployment. If your project values long endurance, lower noise, and a higher level of system integration, the I Series is generally a more suitable direction.
Can the navigation light on the I5 be turned off?
Yes. It can be configured and adjusted through i-Link.
How can I use UAVCAN or DroneCAN to control the I7 motor?
If you need to control throttle through UAVCAN or DroneCAN, you will need our link device and PC software for configuration. The default communication method is PWM control.
How can I determine whether my hexacopter frame is compatible with this motor?
To evaluate compatibility, you should first confirm the frame wheelbase, mounting method, hole pattern, and screw specifications. If you already have a frame drawing, mounting structure details, or arm tube dimensions, providing that information during evaluation will help make the compatibility check faster and more accurate.
What are the differences between the I Series, IV Series, and N Series?
The I Series is mainly designed for high-performance multirotor platforms, with a focus on integrated design, long endurance, lower noise, and health monitoring. The IV Series is mainly designed for fixed-wing cruise platforms and emphasizes FOC control, integrated design, real-time monitoring, and dual PWM/CAN input capability. The N Series is positioned for applications that require stronger environmental adaptability.
