Company History
Zanzottera began its activity in 1996 with the development of two-stroke injection engines, quickly gaining recognition in Italy and internationally for their advanced technology and reliability.
In 2000, the company chose to specialize exclusively in engines for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The specific demands of this sector drove the adoption of innovative technologies aimed at reducing weight, including the development of lost wax microcasting and the use of emerging 3D printing techniques.
The engine starting system was also reimagined, using electronics to convert the integrated brushless generator into a torque motor. This innovation, along with the in-house development of various other electronic components, led to the creation of Zanzottera’s own electronics division.
Today, Zanzottera Technologies S.r.l. produces a wide range of high-performance UAV engines, from 10 HP to 82 HP. The current lineup includes five models: the 996H, 630H, 498H, 305H, and 101H. These engines feature cutting-edge solutions such as aluminium alloy thermal units with silicon carbide coatings, hypereutectic alloy pistons, and proprietary control electronics developed internally.
The company is certified ISO 9001:2015, ensuring the highest standards of quality and process management.
