High-performance brushless motors in sizes 2207, 2807, and 3220 will be produced at the plant for use in commercial drones and FPVs. It is anticipated that the plant would grow to accommodate more than 50,000 motors per month, increasing Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE:UMAC) domestic capacity.

Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE:UMAC)’ goal to onshore drone component manufacture in response to growing demand and regulatory changes is reflected in the new Orlando location. The facility facilitates quick feedback loops and end-user alignment because it is close to Rotor Riot’s headquarters and technical team. Digital traceability, automated quality control, and lean processes were all discussed by Vice President of Manufacturing Brad Mello.

According to CEO Allan Evans, the business is operating concurrently and has already placed orders for equipment. For magnets, bearings, and stators, a dual-sourcing strategy will lower supply chain risks. By 2032, it is expected that the $17.5 billion global drone accessories industry will have grown to $115 billion.
