What kind of motor is used for fixed wings: hot topics and purchasing guide on the Internet
Recently, motor selection for fixed-wing aircraft has become a hot topic of discussion among model aircraft enthusiasts and professional pilots. This article combines the hot topics and data analysis of the entire network in the past 10 days to provide readers with a structured guide to help you quickly understand the core parameters and matching solutions of fixed-wing motors.
1. Analysis of hot topics on the entire network (last 10 days)

| Topic keywords | Discuss the popularity index | main focus |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed wing motor efficiency | 85% | Battery life and power balance |
| Brushless motor model comparison | 78% | 2212 vs 2216 |
| Low cost motor solution | 65% | Student group needs |
| FPV fixed wing motor | 72% | High speed stability |
2. Comparison table of core parameters of fixed-wing motors
| Motor type | Applicable models | Power range | KV value recommendation | typical brand |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brushless outer rotor | 1.2-2 meters wingspan | 300-800W | 800-1200KV | T-Motor/Langyu |
| Brushless inner rotor | Racing/Stunt Machine | 500-1500W | 1400-2200KV | Cobra/Leopard |
| brushed motor | Entry training machine | 50-200W | N/A | silver swallow |
3. Golden rules for motor selection
1.Wingspan matching principle: Every 100 grams of fuselage weight requires about 30W power. For aircraft with a wingspan of 2 meters, it is recommended to choose a motor of more than 600W.
2.Propeller adaptation: Low KV motor (<1000)配大桨(12-15寸),高KV电机(>1500) with small paddle (6-8 inches).
3.Battery voltage calculation: 3S battery is suitable for 1000-1500KV motor, 4S battery is recommended for 800-1200KV motor, and 6S battery needs to match 500-800KV motor.
4. Recommended popular motor models in 2023
| Ranking | Model | Features | reference price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | T-Motor MN2214 | Ultra lightweight design | ¥380-450 |
| 2 | Langyu X4112S | Magnetic Steel Optimization Technology | ¥260-320 |
| 3 | Leopard L3020 | High thrust plan | ¥550-680 |
5. Expert advice
Wang Qiang, an aircraft model engineer, pointed out: "The current mainstream fixed-wing motors are developing in two directions - the professional level pursues the ultimate power-to-weight ratio and uses titanium alloy rotors; the consumer level uses silicon steel sheet optimization to reduce costs. Users should choose based on actual flight duration and maneuvering needs to avoid blind pursuit of high power."
6. Maintenance points
• Check motor bearings for looseness after each flight
• Clean carbon brush wear every 50 lifts and drops (brushed motors)
• Avoid demagnetization caused by long-term full load operation
• Anti-rust treatment is required after flying in humid environment
It can be seen from the above structured data analysis that the selection of fixed-wing motors requires comprehensive consideration of aircraft model parameters, flight scenarios and budget range. It is recommended that novices start with mainstream models and gradually accumulate experience in parameter adjustment.
