AOS Supernova 3220

What it pulls

AOS’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.

What you get

• About 5.9 kg of thrust on 8S

  On RCinPower’s 32 V bench the 700KV pulled 5,859 g at full throttle on a GF1050*3, drawing 66.1 A, and 5,851 g on an HQ1050*3 at 69.2 A.

• AOS RC’s comparison

  On an HQ 10 × 5 × 3 at 32 V, AOS RC’s chart shows 5,850 g at full throttle for the 700KV, against 5,320 g for an X-NOVA 3220 700KV and 5,120 g for a T-Motor 3120 700KV; AOS RC calls it up to 14% more thrust than other 3220 motors of the same KV.

• Quicker to change speed

  AOS RC measured 66,633 rpm/s of acceleration on a 10 × 5 × 3 prop, against 64,566 rpm/s for the X-NOVA and 53,803 rpm/s for the T-Motor, and credits the extra torque.

• Over 80% efficient

  AOS RC says it stays above 80% efficient over a wide range of throttle, about 5% better than earlier 3220 motors; RCinPower gives over 86% between 5 and 12 A for the 700KV and between 6 and 13 A for the 925KV.

• A 6S version

  The 925KV is meant for 6S; on RCinPower’s 24 V bench it pulled 5,458 g on a GF1050*3 at 77.2 A.

• Optimised by simulation

  AOS RC says the design came out of more than 22,000 finite element simulations.

What to pair it with

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

ESC

RCinPower’s max current is 69.2 A for the 700KV (HQ1050*3 at 32 V) and 80.8 A for the 925KV (HQ1050*3 at 24 V). Size the ESC for those currents per motor. (700KV datasheet, 925KV datasheet)

Props

AOS RC built both KVs for 10-inch tri-blades. At full throttle RCinPower measured 5,851–5,859 g for the 700KV at 32 V and 5,448–5,458 g for the 925KV at 24 V, on the HQ1050*3 and GF1050*3. (AOS RC 700KV page, 700KV datasheet, AOS RC 925KV page, 925KV datasheet)

Battery

8S for the 700KV (rated 6S–8S), 6S for the 925KV (rated 5S–6S). (AOS RC 700KV page, 700KV datasheet, AOS RC 925KV page, 925KV datasheet)

Frame

Four M3 holes on a 19 × 19 mm pattern, through a 3 mm thick base. (700KV datasheet, 925KV 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:

• Design. Designed by AOS RC and made by RCinPower. (AOS RC 700KV page)
• Shaft. A 5 mm hollow shaft standing 18 mm above the bell, threaded from 6 mm up. (700KV datasheet, 925KV datasheet)

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 700KV 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.

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 32 × 20 mm stator, 39.4 mm bell, 36.25 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 19 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.
