# Air Force Tests Frenzy 6 Drone Engine

Beehive Industries has completed an initial test of its 100-pound Frenzy 6 prototype engine, developed for projected demand for smaller drones and munitions. The U.S. Air Force finalized engine requirements four months before the test, and Beehive plans a flight demonstration in 2027. The report does not disclose a contract value, solicitation details, or procurement contact.

- The short interval between finalized requirements and the initial test indicates a rapid development cycle relevant to defense propulsion suppliers and firms supporting engine testing.
- Companies with capabilities relevant to small-drone or munition propulsion can assess how the Frenzy 6 development aligns with projected demand; the signal does not identify an open procurement or a specific opportunity to bid.
- The planned 2027 flight demonstration is a future program milestone. No solicitation, contract value, or contact information is provided for procurement planning.
