Quiet Electric
Ducted Fans
Ready to elevate your electric aircraft’s propulsion system with a quiet and efficient solution? Lectratek’s ultra-quiet electric ducted fans (EDFs) have been designed and tested with the latest technologies and design tools, making them ideal for a wide variety of electric aircraft types.
Our EDFs range in size from 3.5″ (2.5kW) to 14″ (50kW), with thrusts ranging from 8 pounds to 150 pounds, depending on the performance parameters they are optimized for. And with scalability up to 35″, Lectratek’s EDFs can meet the needs of any project.
One of the standout features of our EDFs is their unparalleled acoustics. Unlike other fans that rely on compensation or mitigation for quiet performance, our EDFs are designed to be ultra-quiet from the ground up.
Let us help you with a tailored EDF solution for your propulsion needs.

Energy Storage and Enclosures
Lectratek can develop the right combination of safe and durable energy, power, and enclosures for your needs.
Custom Battery Cells
Lectratek offers advanced battery solutions for electric aviation, including custom battery cell chemistry, all made in the USA using dedicated equipment. We work closely with airframers and battery module suppliers to ensure the best implementation of our technology.
Our safe and high-energy cells have been tested to withstand extreme conditions, including being struck by ballistic rounds without thermal runaway or flame.
Custom battery cells range in energy density from 250–400 Wh/kg, and up to 20 C with the capability to operate at temperatures as low as -55ºC.

Fireproof Enclosures
Lectratek offers a range of lightweight and fireproof battery enclosures to help you reduce weight and improve thermal management in your electric aircraft. Our proprietary high-temperature MG resin technology is available in multiple product formats, including syntactic foam insulation, high-temperature composites, and high-temperature elastomer.
Our syntactic foam insulation is a lightweight fire barrier that has been tested and demonstrated in Navy S9310 battery safety tests. We also offer fire-resistant composite panels and enclosures made with high-temperature composites, as well as flexible and fire-resistant seals and gaskets made with high-temperature elastomer.
Whether you need to build, line, or seal your battery enclosure, our battery enclosures can help you meet your thermal management and safety needs.
Safe and Durable Battery Solutions
Safety is our top priority. We have partnered with CRG to provide custom battery cells that can withstand intense pressure and damage without thermal runaway. Combined with our MG enclosures, these components will be your first choice in powering your electric aircraft.
Cells showed ~10% deformation from crush, but it had no effect on cell performance.
At Lectratek, we also perform in-house cell/pack performance, environmental, and safety testing using advanced testers, load banks, and environmental chambers. Trust us to deliver safe and intelligent battery cells for your electric aviation needs.
