A 90 by 20 mm outrunner from the end of a Skydio 2+ arm. 480 W. Three leads into the arm, no plug at the motor. Motor only. No arm, no prop, no ESC board.
SKY-M09020 is ours. Skydio has never sold this motor as a part. Their repair route is send the aircraft back under Skydio Care, or buy a replacement arm from a breaker. That is the whole supply chain, and it is why there is no cross reference on this page.
One number exists that comes close, and it is not a motor number. Arm assemblies from breakers carry the aircraft serial range, not a part code. We are not going to dress a serial up as an OEM number.
Airframe. 790 g. 11.07 V, 5410 mAh, three cells. 27 minutes. 4K camera on a three axis gimbal. Autonomous flight is the point of the machine, and every motor has to hold its corner within a few grams of thrust of the others or the controller fights itself.
480 W on 11.07 V is around 43 A. The pack is 5410 mAh. Four motors cannot pull that together for long. Read the figure as a ceiling at full throttle on a fresh pack. Not a working load, and not a hover number.
Removal. The motor is buried in the arm. Take the arm off the frame first: four screws at the root, one connector on the ESC board. Then the motor housing. Do not cut the leads at the frame end, there is no slack to work with once you do.
Wiring. Three phases, no keyed plug. Photograph the joint before you desolder. Keep the order. A swapped pair spins the motor backwards, and a machine that corrects for a reversed corner will lift, yaw hard, and put itself in the ground.
Diagnosis. Spin each bell by hand before you buy anything. Roughness or a click is a bearing. Burned varnish you can smell. Unequal resistance across the three leads is a shorted turn. A motor that runs hot while the other three are cool is drawing current it should not.
Not on this page: KV, stator size, wire gauge, motor weight, thrust per corner. Skydio publishes none of it. A figure borrowed from a similar sized motor would be worse than a blank. Ask, and we will measure a sample on a bench.
In the box: one motor. No arm, no prop, no screws, no connector housing. Six months on DOA and winding faults. One piece ships. Twenty starts a run, fifteen to thirty days. If you need the whole corner, ask about the arm.
