Motors today are generalized.

Chinese motor manufacturers sell products that work ok for many customers, but not perfectly for any one drone. Recent regulatory changes have incubated domestic drone production, while decimating the range of commercially available motor models.

Innovate → Differentiate

Designing drones around the same narrow set of OTS motors your competitors buy limits your differentiation. DJI, Apple, and Ford don't settle for OTS parts. Likewise, the teams that capture the Western drone market will build seamless machines built from tightly integrated software and hardware.

Own your tradeoffs.

USA Drone Motors works with you to design motors around your drone's unique form factor and mission. Owning the motor design lets you decide which physical and electrical variables to maximize or sacrifice. Building motors to your exact requirements lets you budget cost and weight to only the features you need.

Weight vs Power
Airflow vs Ingress protection
Weight reduction vs Machining time
Stability vs Responsiveness

Above all, cost

Drones are, by nature, viable and attractive as cheaper, simpler substitutions to legacy or manual solutions. BOM cost is as important as any performance or dimensional tradeoff. Everything we do aims to shave your costs within the bounds of your constraints, so you only pay for what you need.

In house, in the US

Our factory is set up in Los Angeles off El Segundo Blvd. We have the machines, materials, and know-how to design, machine, and assemble thousands of motors per week, from 20-200mm OD.

Here's a head start

Design around these seed files, or email us your specs. We'll help you fine-tune tolerances and fits, and let you know where costs can be saved. Then we'll bring your motor to life, in prototype or production volumes.

The future is
purpose built

We're making it way faster, cheaper, and easier for drone and robotics teams to get purpose-built propulsion and actuation components. When the drone hype and the VC funding cools, the winners that remain will be those with integrated, differentiated, defensible hardware and software.
