Curve more than 14 years to create a "hearty" for drones

“Flying off, rising, falling, hovering, returning to the sea...” At the Bund Shipyard Park in Jiangyin, surrounded by a wide field of vision, green and verdant, “Post-70s” Zou Yutao is using a self-developed ground station to freely control a four-axis drone. . As the founder and general manager of Jiangsu Ainuotek Aviation Technology Co., Ltd., this is not known to be his first few test flights. The same is still an unquenchable excitement. This peek-2 drone was also a big success. It was a huge success at the INTEROTIONALD RONEEXPO in October of last year. It took 80 minutes to take off a weight of 3.5kg and only carried a 15,000 mAh lithium battery. The world record, while the flight time of similar products is only 15-23 minutes. In addition, the aircraft is also a big show at the drone exhibition in Europe, Shanghai and other places.

In recent years, on the territory of the Internet of Things, drones have become increasingly clear. It is no longer a military reconnaissance aircraft, a toy in the aircraft model circle, but increasingly carries more possible smart tools. In addition to Google, Amazon, Facebook, JD, and other giants, the representative of the drones in the fast-growing aerial photography market is Dajiang, located in Shenzhen, which was founded more than 10 years ago and once occupied about 70% market share of global consumer-class drones. While Ainoltech Aviation Co., Ltd., located in Jiangyin High-tech Zone, has not been established for a long time, in the commercial sector, there has been a tendency to surpass the curve.

Unyielding, 14 years to create a "hearty" for drones

If the drone is likened to a person, then the motor is the heart of the drone, and the flight control is the brain of the drone.

As a leader, Ainoltech drones have a powerful "heart" - a self-developed motor. DJI sets the R&D direction in flight control, while Ainoltech focuses on drone motor systems. Taking the pryers series of motors as an example, it is estimated that although Ainoltech's motors are only 880 grams, to achieve the same effect, the international mainstream motor weighs 2,700 grams. This is also the biggest "black technology" that Ainoltech has created in the flying world record.

Currently, Zou Yutao has developed a third generation of motor products. The world's mainstream level of Germany's motor conversion rate reached 67%, while Ainoltech's products can reach 81%. For drones, there is a saying in the industry that "one gram of light, worth a thousand dollars." In today's battery technology is still difficult to break through, who can make the motor more efficient and lighter, whoever achieves a greater competitive advantage, only light weight, in order to maintain greater battery life, and load more application modules .

In order to create a more powerful motor, Zou Yutao has been continuously researching and developing for more than 10 years. Although he is not known in Jiangyin, he has long been famous in the domestic and foreign aircraft models. In fact, the yearning for the sky runs through the entire development process of Zou Yutao. At the age of eight, Zou Yutao first encountered a model airplane in the Chengjiang Central Elementary School. At that time, the model used a rubber band as a power. At that time, he couldn't put it down. In junior high school, after seeing the remote control aircraft, he was determined to make his own remote control aircraft soaring in the air. While studying at university, he was still keen to study drones and took out living expenses for research and development.

In 2002, after graduating from Zou Yutao University, he returned to Jiangyin to study shipbuilding. He opened a “workshop” near Tongjiang Road – providing more efficient and efficient motors for drones. Zou Yutao sells his own motors to domestic and foreign model aircraft forums. According to the requirements of customers, he continuously improves. Although only one or two motors can be sold at a time, thousands of people on the forums are aware of the presence of such products. At that time, the aircraft model industry was only active in these people. Zou Yutao said that Wang Jian, who founded Dajiang, and he is also a “flying friend” in his life. He also played drones several years ago.

Zou Yutao told reporters that Ainotec Motor's leadership in the world came from accumulation, and their company's motor research and development team had a total of 5 people, all of whom were trained. In addition to its own drones, electric motors are mostly exported to foreign countries.

Optimize the platform to control drones like using a mobile phone

As a chaser, Ainoltech tries to create a disruptive user experience - the drone's fooling operation. Wu Junnan, deputy general manager of the company, told the reporter that for the average person, within five minutes of getting the Ainoltech plant protection machine, as long as the instructions were followed, the drone could be put up and operated as simply as a mobile phone.
