5-inch FPV freestyle motor

AOS Supernova 2207

A 5-inch motor designed by AOS RC and built by RCinPower: 2207, 31 g, and up to 2,547 g of thrust per motor on RCinPower’s 24 V bench (1980KV, GF51466R).

  • 5-inch freestyle and racing
  • 6S (1980KV) or 8S (1570KV)
  • 5-inch props
Drawing the 3D model…

The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2207 motor drawn from AOS’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are AOS’s bench figures for the GF51466R prop at 24 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 50% throttle.

On your quad

15.7 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 10,188 g with the GF51466R at 24 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 5,366 g, 8.3 times the quad’s weight.

All-up weight is the quad ready to fly, with its battery and camera. The thrust is the maker’s static bench figure; in the air it is lower.

What you get

  • About 2.5 kg of thrust on 6S

    On RCinPower’s 24 V bench the 1980KV pulled 2,547 g at full throttle on a GF51466R, drawing 60.7 A.

  • Over 86% efficient at low current

    RCinPower’s datasheets give over 86% efficiency between 5 and 11 A for the 1980KV, and between 4 and 9 A for the 1570KV.

  • Optimised by simulation

    AOS RC says the design came out of more than 20,000 iterations of its finite element model, aiming for the most power, torque and efficiency at 31 g without wires.

  • AOS RC’s comparison

    Against the average 2207 in AOS RC’s tests, it claims 4.6% better efficiency, 18% more thrust and 33% more torque for the 1980KV.

  • An 8S version

    The 1570KV is rewound for 8S; on RCinPower’s 32 V bench it pulled 2,699 g on a GF51466R at 44.2 A.

What to pair it with

Our reading of AOS’s numbers, so your build matches what the motor was tested with.

ESC
RCinPower rates the 1980KV’s max current at 61 A, and its 24 V tables reach 54.3–60.7 A at full throttle; the 1570KV peaks at 44.2 A on 32 V. Size the ESC for those currents per motor. (1980KV datasheet, 1570KV datasheet)
Props
RCinPower tested five props. At full throttle the 1980KV pulled 2,236 g (HQ R36) to 2,547 g (GF51466R) at 24 V, and 1,941 g (HQ R38) to 2,278 g (GF51466R) at 21 V. (1980KV datasheet)
Battery
6S for the 1980KV (rated 5S–6S), 8S for the 1570KV. (1980KV datasheet, 1570KV datasheet)
Frame
Four M3 holes on a 16 × 16 mm pattern, through a 3 mm thick base. (1980KV datasheet)

Bench data

Redrawn from AOS’s test reports. Thrust is static pull on a bench, more than you get in flight. Power is volts × amps; efficiency is thrust divided by power.

Inside the motor

A brushless outrunner: the coils stand still in the middle and the magnets spin around them. From the top down:

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 1980KV version reaches about these speeds; a prop loads the motor and brings it down, typically to around 70–75% of these figures at full throttle.

BatteryVoltsNo-load rpm (KV × V)Electrical frequencyESC steps per second
4S nominal14.829,3043,419 Hz20,513
4S full16.833,2643,881 Hz23,285
6S nominal22.243,9565,128 Hz30,769
6S full25.249,8965,821 Hz34,927

A 14-pole rotor has 7 pole pairs, so every turn of the shaft is 7 electrical cycles, and a six-step ESC switches the phases 42 times per turn.

About the 3D model

A generic outrunner drawn from AOS’s published sizes: the 22 × 7 mm stator, 27.6 mm bell, 19.5 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 16 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything AOS doesn’t publish is typical for a motor this size, and the bell’s spoked top, the base and the inside are a generic design, not this motor’s. The colours are read off the maker’s product photos. There are no logos or markings: it is our drawing, not the maker’s.
