Auxiliary Power Units for Extended Mission Capability
Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) provide independent onboard power that can support aircraft systems, payloads, communications equipment, and mission electronics without relying solely on the primary propulsion system. In aerospace applications, APUs are commonly used to provide electrical power, system startup capability, backup power, and support for onboard mission equipment. In addition, the technology is highly suitable as a range extender for EV aircraft.
Bascom Hunter develops APU solutions optimized for unmanned and autonomous platforms where endurance, reliability, and operational flexibility are critical. Our engineering approach focuses on maximizing power output while minimizing weight, fuel consumption, and integration complexity.
