Alva Industries produces coreless electric motors for UAVs
- Published 22 March 2023 and updated 30 September 2026. Alva’s Aero-Series motors use ironless stators for larger unmanned aircraft. The company’s patented FiberPrinting process combines copper wire and structural fibres, replacing traditionally costly manual production with a customisable, scalable method. Alva says the lighter, more efficient motors can provide up to 20% more airtime and greater payload capacity.
- UAV makers can tune motor properties to specific applications, potentially replacing crop-dusting aircraft or helicopters used for power-line inspection. The page says the stator technology could also reduce wind-turbine weight. It describes commercial deliveries as underway and notes older goals to partner with drone makers in Europe and North America; the historical market estimate and 2020 target timing on the page may be outdated.
