Core Technology

17 in-house engineered subsystems ship standard with every K9 — built around a triple-IMU flight controller and an IPX6/IPX7 power & battery system.

Why K9
25kg payload

The Mid-Size Sweet Spot

25 kg rated payload on a 2000 mm wheelbase — 67% more lift than the K8 without stepping up to the heavy-duty K9PLUS class. The versatile middle of the K family.

14S 22–32 Ah
14Ssmart battery

Stepped-Up Power System

14S 22–32 Ah smart battery as standard — the same high-voltage architecture as the K9PLUS. Higher sustained current headroom than the K8's 12S pack, with hot-swap dual-battery option.

34" Propeller
34in folding

Balanced 85 KV · 7–9 kg/axis

34-inch folding props driven by K9 motors at 85 KV. 7–9 kg per-axis working thrust — enough lift for full industrial payloads, more efficient than the K9PLUS's larger prop at cruise speeds.

Industrial-Grade In-House Flight Controller

6 Subsystems
Full-cage integrated damping chamber

Full-Cage Integrated Damping Chamber

All FC components are mounted inside a single vibration-isolated cage. The integrated damper structure cuts flight-controller vibration, protects IMU accuracy, and eliminates the need for field calibration.

Aviation-grade J30J gold-plated terminal

Aviation-Grade J30J Gold-Plated Terminal

Oxidation-resistant, anti-vibration, firmly connected. Industrial-grade signal integrity.

Integrated RTK, datalink, and compute

Integrated Design · Minimal & Reliable

RTK, datalink, and compute core integrated into one board. Fewer connectors, lower failure rate.

Triple-redundant IMU

Triple-Redundant IMU · Triple Safety Net

Three independent IMUs vote in real time. A single sensor failure will not interrupt flight.

Dual RTK antennas for heading

Dual RTK Antennas for Heading

Two RTK antennas resolve heading directly. Anti-jamming, cm-level positioning, no compass dependency.

IMU thermal chamber at 45C

Integrated IMU Thermal Chamber

The IMU is held at a stable 45 °C regardless of ambient temperature, so sensor drift stays flat from -20 °C to +65 °C. Heading and attitude remain accurate in extreme environments.

Power & Battery Subsystems

11 Subsystems
In-house smart battery with BMS

In-House Smart Battery · Built-in BMS

Self-developed pack with built-in battery management. Hot-swap ready, balance-managed, cycle-counted.

FOC vector control with flux observer

FOC Vector Control with Flux Observer

Negative-pressure cooling, Miller-clamp driving, FOC vector control, and flux observer deliver industry-leading energy efficiency. Motor drive efficiency breaks 98%, and the system runs at lower temperature for longer service life.

IPX6 IPX7 waterproof

IPX6 / IPX7 System-Wide Waterproofing

The full electrical path is sealed to IPX6/IPX7. Operate confidently in rain, spray, and coastal conditions.

MOS thermal optimization TOLLT package

MOS Thermal Optimization · TOLLT

Thermal resistance down 40%, response speed up 20%. Sustained high-current operation without throttling.

Integrated copper busbar

Integrated Copper Busbar

Current transfer efficiency up 5%. Lower impedance, lower heat, higher peak-current margin.

CAN plus PWM dual control

Strong Stability · Dual Backup

CAN + PWM dual independent control signals. A single-channel fault does not stop the motors.

Extreme-condition continuous power

Extreme Conditions · No Power Loss

Wide-temperature electronics and rugged power design keep the platform powered on through harsh environments — from freezing mornings to hot midday operations.

Six-channel temperature sensing

Six-Channel Temperature Sensing

Cells, MOSFETs, and key nodes all monitored. Precise thermal control and multi-level protection.

High-capacity data storage

Massive Data Storage

Charge, discharge, and abnormal events are logged in real time. Full traceability for warranty and analysis.

High-precision voltage, current, temperature sampling

High-Precision V / I / T Sampling

Voltage, current, and temperature are sampled at high precision with fast system response.

High-performance high-temperature magnet

High-Performance High-Temperature Magnet

Motor magnets rated for sustained high temperature, preserving motor efficiency and demagnetization resistance over the full flight envelope.
