The voltage reduction module is used to reduce the voltage from 24 volts to 12 volts and 5 volts DC. The maximum output current for each channel is 1.8-2.0 A. There are two XT60 power connectors at the input. There are three screw terminals at the output. The module has separate power supplies for the power section and the control circuit to minimize the effect of voltage drop. With an input voltage of 5 to 25 V, the output voltage remains constant throughout the entire period of module use. The module is designed for use on quadcopters with a 10-inch frame or for domestic use.
The technology being developed for FPV and other drones in Ukraine is cutting edge, but this idea is neither new or novel!! Using the highly mature family of LM7805 and LM7812 positive series regulators. you can build any number of regulated 5 VDC and 12 VDC power supplies. Also, you don't mention the current outputs of these power supplies and how much heat rejection is needed (Heat Sinks). Custom geometry /shapes of printed circuit boards (PCB's) is standard practice in the West. Light weight PCB's, improved battrey management, new battery reduced weight chemistries, etc. would much better solutions for drones.
