Drone Terminology: KV
A concise technical definition for educational use.
What “KV” means
For a brushless motor commonly used in electric UAVs, KV describes the motor’s no-load RPM per volt. A higher KV rating indicates a higher no-load RPM for a given voltage.
Use specifications carefully
Motor performance depends on the complete system, including voltage, propeller, load, and manufacturer specifications. This glossary entry is general education, not equipment-selection advice.
