Product catalog summary
Technical Specifications Overview:
The Neva Aerospace Athena Series are Electric Turbofans (ETFs) designed for efficient Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL). Known by various names globally, these turbines are optimized for static thrust and VTOL/STOL operations, resulting from extensive R&D.

Key Features:
  • Safety-focused design with no un-caged propellers.
  • Internal redundancy with two separate stages, motors, and ESCs in the 2ET version.
  • Compact size with high thrust density and efficiency.

Variants:
  • 1ET: Single stage, available in clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation.
  • 2ET: Two stages with counter-rotating design.

Applications:
  • Medium-sized UAS/UAV and heavy-payload UAV/UAA.
  • Extreme sports and security/defense applications.
  • Electric aviation and airships for VTOL and slow-speed flight.

Technical Specifications:
  • Max Diameter: 250 mm, Rotor Diameter: 195 mm.
  • Weight: Varies between 0.6 kg to 0.76 kg depending on the model.
  • Max Thrust: Ranges from 2.0 kgf to 2.5 kgf.
  • Power: Electrical power at max thrust ranges from 0.47 kW to 0.69 kW.
  • Supply Voltage: 11.1 V (3S) to 14.8 V (4S).
  • Efficiency: Varies with thrust settings, measured in gf/We.
  • Noise Level: 92dB at full power, 84dB at half power.

Material and Construction:
  • Composite materials used for different components.
  • ESCs are integrated or external depending on the model.

Operational Notes:
  • Specifications are subject to updates without notice.
  • Warranty void if modifications are made to key components.
  • Not suitable for icing conditions or flights above 2000ft without special authorization.
  • Certification and regulatory compliance are the responsibility of the integrator or aircraft manufacturer.

Athena A-1

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS – DATA SHEET The Neva Aerospace Athena Series are Electric Turbofans (ETFs) engineered for efficient Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL). These devices are known by various names worldwide: Standschub optimimerter elektroimpeller or Elektro-turbofan in Germany, “Turbine électrique de poussée statique” in France and Electric VTOL TurboFan (ETF) or static thrust Electric Ducted Fan (EDF) in the UK and USA. Neva Athena Series turbines are the result of several years of R&D and provide high performance and remarkable efficiency. In particular they are designed for static thrust and are optimised for VTOL and STOL operations. Safety is intrinsic in the design of all Neva ETFs, and there are no un-caged propellers: Internal redundancy with 2 separate stages, 2 motors, and 2 ESCs (2ETElectric VTOL Turbo-Fans version) Reduced size from High thrust density Neva Aerospace Greater efficiency (high power loading as measured in kg/kW) Athena A (autonomous) is offered in several variants: 1ET: 1 stage clockwise (CW) or counter-clockwise (CCW) 2ET: 2 stages counter-rotating Athena Series turbines are delivered fully assembled with Electronic Speed Controllers (ESC), motors and propellers. Applications: Typical usage for manned or unmanned aircraft: Bespoke applications for medium sized UAS/UAV Bespoke heavy-payload, high-safety UAV/UAA Extreme sports (paraglider, base-jump, Turbo-Ski, etc…) Security and defence applications Electric aviation: high -efficiency VTOL and slow speed linear flight Airships: high efficiency thrust for
