ARC: Micro Turbine Generator

Power your machine with our ultra-light, diesel-fueled 10kWe turbo generator.

The ARC micro turbine generator runs on all heavy fuels including diesel, biodiesel, Jet-A, and kerosene. The generator is available as a fully enclosed unit weighing 10.7kg (24lb) or as a lightweight "core-only" version at just 7.7kg (17lb), ideal for aircraft integration. The standard (LV) unit outputs DC voltage in the range of 25-75VDC but we can customize it to meet any DC requirements.

Advantages over Piston-based Generators

Size and Weight Icon

Size and Weight

The ARC micro generator is more than 10-times lighter and 4-times smaller than a piston-based generator of the same power-output.

Low Vibration Icon

Low Vibration

Piston-based engines are prone to vibrations. At full throttle, the ARC is as solid as a brick, ideal for applications requiring minimum vibration.

Robust Icon

Robust

The centrifugal compressor within the ARC allows the turbine to generate consistent power when operating in different environments and altitudes.

Technical Overview

Turbo Icon for ARC Generator Precision Microturbine

Precision Microturbine

At the core of the ARC generator is a tiny jet engine about the size of a soda can. It spins incredibly fast—up to 130,000 RPM to produce a lot of power. A precision gearbox further slows things down to ensure reliable operation.

Electronics Icon for ARC Generator Dual-Computer System

Advanced Electronics

The electronics feature a dual-layer computer system with a dedicated turbine computer controlled by a higher-level computer. Plus, the built-in battery recharges itself while the device is on, so you can start it up as many times as needed without worry.

Software Icon for ARC Generator Fully Customizable Controller

Fully Customizable Controller

The software comes pre-loaded and ready to go straight from the factory — so no setup is needed. For those who need more customization, the easy-to-configure firmware works perfectly with the Arduino IDE, much like a typical IoT (Internet-of-Things) Gadget.

Setup Guide

Quickly install the ARC system as a standalone unit or integrate it into your existing setup for dependable energy.

Mount Compact Generator for Power Setup

Mount the Unit

Position the compact generator on a flat surface or secure it within your system's frame. Its vibration-free design ensures easy installation with flexible mounting options.

Connect Lines for ARC System

Connect Lines

Link two electrical wires (+/-) to your load and two fuel lines (supply/return) to a fuel tank. The integrated auto-priming feature simplifies setup for initial operation.

Activate ARC Power System

Activate the System

Flip the switch on the included remote control to activate the power system. The ARC will perform an auto-start procedure, after which you can select Manual or Auto mode depending on the firmware.

Operation Modes

Easily switch between Manual and Auto modes via firmware updates to suit your power requirements.

Manual Mode for ARC System Control

Manual Mode

Adjust the voltage output manually using the control knob, and the ARC system maintains desired voltage output under diverse load conditions.

Auto Mode for ARC System Automation

Auto Mode

The ARC system automatically adjusts to a preset voltage and consistently delivers power at this level for reliable operation.

Case Study: ARC Hybrid vs. Batteries on the DJI Agras T100

Fewer Landings, More Time in the Air

Battery-electric spray drones land often to swap packs, cutting into productive flying time. The FusionFlight ARC micro turbine generator offers a hybrid-electric alternative: fewer landings, more spraying per flight.

Using the DJI Agras T100 as a real-world example, we compare its stock dual-battery setup against the same drone with two ARC-A generators, a small buffer battery, and a fuel tank in place of the batteries — same 170 kg takeoff weight, same 80 kg payload.

One ARC unit alone can't keep up with a drone this heavy, but two together produce enough power to run the whole flight — plus a bonus: their downward exhaust helps carry some of the load too, easing the burden on the rotors.

On Batteries

Mass Breakdown
60 kg airframe + 80 kg payload
+ 30 kg battery
Total: 170 kg

4,264 Wh of battery power the drone at full weight. That energy never changes as it drains, so the drone hauls the same 29.4 kg the whole time. Flight time: about 13 minutes before landing to swap packs.

On ARC Hybrid

Mass Breakdown
60 kg airframe + 80 kg payload
+ 16 kg ARC (×2) + 1 kg tank/buffer + 13 kg fuel
Total: 170 kg

Both ARC units throttle down as fuel burns and the drone gets lighter, so power demand keeps dropping through the whole flight. Flight time: about 26 minutes — roughly 2× longer, same payload, with a quick refuel instead of a battery swap.

Carrying a bit less payload stretches flight time even further — a shrinking fuel tank cuts power demand as it burns, unlike a battery that never gets lighter no matter how depleted it is. Drop the payload to 40 kg, for example, and the same ARC hybrid system can stay airborne for roughly 135 minutes — about 10× longer than the battery-only drone flying that same lighter load. That kind of endurance opens the door to long-duration field mapping and crop monitoring flights that batteries simply can't do at any payload.
