Re-engineered steering concept takes flight with FALCON x
Danish firm EPTechnologies has developed the FALCON x electric outboard — a purpose-built electric propulsion system designed to set new standards in efficiency, weight, and performance.
Unlike conventional solutions adapted from combustion platforms, FALCON x is developed from the ground up as an electric drive. The compact and lightweight design reduces drag, improves efficiency, and frees up onboard space for additional battery capacity, extending range and enhancing overall vessel performance.
At the core of the system is a high-efficiency axial flux motor delivering 130 kW (180 hp) continuous power with a peak output of 220 kW. Optimized hydrodynamics and adjustable shaft lengths provide flexibility across a wide range of applications, from leisure and hydrofoil vessels to commercial and high-performance boats. Hydrofoil applications particularly benefit from significant efficiency gains once foiling.
FALCON x also features a re-engineered steering concept where only the propeller and hub rotate while the motor remains fixed. This improves weight distribution, protects critical components, and enables 360° manoeuvrability for precise vessel control without additional thrusters.
Combined with EPTechnologies’ in-house developed battery systems, FALCON x forms part of a fully integrated, zero local -emission propulsion solution focused on high performance, operational efficiency, and simplified integration.
EPTechnologies is a complete marine propulsion provider, designing and manufacturing fully integrated electric and hybrid systems for vessels ranging from leisure boats to commercial applications. With in-house development of batteries, propulsion drives, DC generators, and intelligent control systems, EPTechnologies delivers scalable, high-performance solutions focused on safety, efficiency, and simplified integration.
