The new engine technology is extremely useful for the military as it can run on a wide variety of fuels, from gasoline, diesel and kerosene to propane and hydrogen and the very popular JP-8/Jet-A jet fuel. .

what is known

The operating principle of the XTS-210 can best be described as an “inverted” Wankel rotary engine. For example, instead of the long and mobile combustion chamber, which provides direct injection and a high degree of compression, there is a small, round, stationary combustion chamber. Piston rings are also fixed, which makes them much easier to lubricate and maintain.

• The base model XTS-210 weighs 19 kilograms, has a camera working volume of 210 cubic centimeters, and its power reaches 20 kilowatts.
• It produces a torque of 29.4 newton meters at 6500 revolutions per minute.
• Compared with diesel analogues, 5 times stronger for the same dimensionsor in 5 times smaller size for the same power.

These engines will be installed on UAVs. More powerful versions of the XTS-210 predecessors have already been successfully tested on light aircraft.

Another useful application of such an engine is mobile generators, which are in high demand in modern warfare due to the large number of electronic devices on the battlefield. Savings on fuel, weight of the device and materials used for its maintenance It will help optimize military logistics.
