In the world of aviation, reliability and precision are non-negotiable. Every component of an aircraft must perform flawlessly, and among these vital components, Aircraft DC Motors play a crucial role. Whether it's powering flight control systems, hydraulic pumps, or auxiliary systems, DC motors ensure the smooth and safe operation of many aircraft functions. At NAASCO, we understand the critical nature of these motors and are committed to providing superior solutions to keep aircraft operating safely and efficiently.
What is an Aircraft DC Motor?
An Aircraft DC Motor is a direct current electric motor specifically designed to handle the unique demands of aviation environments. Unlike traditional motors used in automotive or industrial applications, these motors are built to withstand extreme altitudes, fluctuating temperatures, and continuous vibration — all while delivering consistent, reliable performance.
DC motors in aircraft are typically used for:
-
Hydraulic pump drives
-
Actuation systems
-
Landing gear mechanisms
-
Flight control surface movements
-
Auxiliary power systems
Their compact size, high torque, and precise speed control make them ideal for many onboard applications where AC motors may not be practical.
Why Aircraft DC Motors Matter
The performance of an aircraft heavily relies on the precision and reliability of its DC motors. Any failure can lead to serious consequences, from delayed flights to potential safety hazards. This is why selecting high-quality components and ensuring regular maintenance is vital.
Some of the key advantages of Aircraft DC Motors include:
-
Smooth speed regulation
-
High starting torque
-
Quick response times
-
Lightweight design
-
Minimal electromagnetic interference
At NAASCO, we recognize these critical demands and offer expertly engineered DC motor solutions designed for long-lasting performance and minimal downtime.

Building the CX4
Will document the construction of a new Just SuperSTOL XL
90% Complete, 90% left to do. Prior builders choose good upgrades/changes over the years, such as dual hydraulic brakes Good to excellent detail work. As the latest builder (goal is to complete in 2 years). Edit (08/29/2023) - Bwaahahaha! Many things need to be checked out, validated during the start of the process. Engine was assembled in 2010 and never run. I've got the turbo upgrade kit to put on and will do a partial teardown/overhaul at the same time. The first 1.5 years of my ownership is getting the garage ready for this unexpected purchase. Some riveting left to do, partial glass panel to complete/test. Decide how to implement ADS-B out, and if is feasible without fully investing in new glass.
Check these panels that were designed and completed by our users!
Just some photos and videos from the Kelly Airpark 2022 Pancake Breakfast!

I found this factory quick build kit that was partially built and decided maybe it was a good time to build another airplane…even though I travel 7-8 months a year for work. What was I thinking! ? Anyway, you are welcome to follow along, comment, ask questions, and hopefully, it will help some other builders along the way. I deploy for work about 6-7 months a year, so there may be some gaps in my updates. I also added all posts prior to April 2022 well after I had taken the photos...but going forward I will do a better job of posting updates!
Hi to anyone who has information about the Zipper Big Bore Kit for the 912S Rotax engine. I am interested in increasing the HP of my 912S but when I tap on the Zipper website a message pops up saying "There has been a critical error on this website". I am wondering if this means Zipper no longer sell/support this Kit for the Rotax 912S ??. Can anyone shed any light on this please ?. Thanks in advance. Regards, Allen B.
