Of the engines offered, all use parallel valve cylinders except the 390 and 580, which employ angle-valve cylinder heads. In fact, volumes are so low they list the individual engines they have on the shelf on their websites. It packs a three-gear helical arrangement to mate with GM crate engines. Both are popular, the just 132-pound 2200 in the smaller Zenith and Sonex airframes; the bigger 3300 typically being seen in the Arion, larger Zenith, RANS and Van’s models. Not only does this allow tucking the intake runners more tightly under the engine, but allows mounting the carburetor directly to the aft end of the plenum at the back of accessory case, either horizontally or vertically. It’s worth a few moments to consider rebuilding an existing engine instead of buying a new one outright. This gives an in-cylinder cooling that allows a higher compression ratio for increased efficiency. , Sales of the TJ100 are through Sonex for the SubSonex or direct with PBS. Furthermore, Hirth two-strokes in our guide are designed strictly for aviation, meaning they are tuned for lower rpm and greater durability than typical ground-based engines. The aforementioned Superior cold air intake is one example, another is the newest EFII System 32 electronic engine management system, added in the fall of 2019. All rights reserved worldwide. Rated power of the conversions ranges from 300 to 425 hp., The base kit starts with a new Chevy long block—Robinson works with a variety of LS engines, both naturally aspirated and supercharged by GM—to offer a wide range of performance. It uses a bare pint of water in a self-contained system to cool the turbocharger’s center bearing, but only after the engine has shut down and the running supply of engine oil isn’t flowing. FAA certification, quality assurance, and liability insurance are somewhat fixed costs. The biggest issue they’ve reported recently is keeping up with demand. This engine is brand new and still factory shrink wrapped. Lower power Hirth engines are air-cooled; the larger engines are water cooled. At press time that was just 1.1:1, so the dollar is buying many euros, making the ULPower engines price competitive. Viking says they have engines in the field with over 1000 total hours and that its product development program has a 100-hp version of the three-cylinder engine in the works for release at a later date. Canada sales are through Archie Dobbins, operations manager of Firewall Forward Aero Engines. , In the traditional big-bore, direct-drive aviation piston world, Lycoming continues it dominance of the Experimental/Amateur-Built market. HUMMEL ENGINES. Titan simply machines its cases to accept the steel thrust washers first seen in Continental 470/520 engines to essentially eliminate this issue. 120hp (125 mm × 160 mm (4.9 in × 6.3 in) 120-130 hp) Basse und Selve BuS.III 150 hp … It’s rated at 65 hp and with the light weight and friendly pricing good for the most basic Experimental/Amateur-Built aircraft. market. CAM reports its rotary has a Sopwith Pup replica going 110 mph straight and level, plus 1000 fpm vertically. Instead, these use much more optimized intake airflow paths with rather obvious visual changes in manifold design. , And make no mistake, electric propulsion is completely different from our usual 100LL and Jet A engines. The horizontal cold air allows a slimmer cowling and eases packaging a ram style air inlet, while the updraft version accommodates existing standard-depth cowls. Besides complete Seabee conversions, Robinson offers its converted LS engines in a pleasantly complete base package designed to give the LS fan a head start in fitting the popular Chevy to almost any airframe. LSA fans have been patiently waiting for the engine for several years since the first-article DP-1 was first shown running on an engine stand, and while this should have been the year the new 58-hp engine went into production, we’re going to need a little more patience says Pegasus majordomo Pete Plumb., Two changes have slowed the DP-1’s debut. , Let’s also note that after a rocky start several years ago, D-Motor has replaced its original North American distributor. All Spyder Corvair engines are built to order. Hummel reports activity is brisk, with the lead time for a new engine running around eight months. Superior offers a choice of Bendix-style mechanical fuel injection from Precision Airflow or traditional carburetion on all its engines., Superior was offering 382 and 400 cubic inch stroker versions (longer crankshaft throw) of its engine, but after some issues Superior recalled those engines in a buy-back program and is no longer offering strokers. P-MAG and LightSpeed Engineering Plasma series are popular. , The naturally-aspirated 100-hp has been on sale and is built from reconditioned GM parts reinforced by a steel front hub on the crankshaft, added front main bearing, nitriding, a 30-amp rear-mounted alternator and plenty of new service parts. , The fourth generation Jabiru relies heavily on aluminum construction of the crankcase and cylinders—silicon carbide and nickel coated—for low weight and rapid heat transfer. , Finally, there is the FL1500 inverted-V-4. We build all types of aircooled VW engines from stock to stroked. By venting crankcase blow-by to the atmosphere instead of back into the engine, Viking escapes the valve deposit issues found in some automotive GDI applications. Motorav’s parent company is Rima, a very large Brazilian mining and industrial outfit that bought out VW’s Brazilian die casting plant and also has its own supply of magnesium and other metals. Rotax offers several distributors and maintenance facilities in North America, with some of those, such as California Power Systems and Lockwood Aviation, offering various schools for interested homebuilders or maintenance pros. John has some certified Warner parts for sale, but no complete engines. Learn how emissions reductions, advancements in fuels and fuel economy, and working with industry to find solutions to air pollution problems benefit human and environmental health, create consumer savings and are cost effective. Pumping avgas and waxing flight school airplanes got Tom into general aviation in 1973, but the lure of racing cars and motorcycles sent him down a motor journalism career heavy on engines and racing. Lycoming’s solution is a separate assembly shop in the corner of their factory offering all sorts of custom services and aftermarket parts; the resulting engines are sold under the Thunderbolt name and compete directly with the better aftermarket overhaul houses such as Aero Sport Power, Barrett Precision Engines, and Ly-Con Aircraft Engines. , A new initiative is water-cooled cylinders for Lycoming engines. All engines are built from all-new parts; no salvage or used engines are ever used., What is new is the $585 Aero-Graph, an engine monitor AeroMomentum builds in-house. For 2020 Rotax has not made any technical changes to the 582 line. If modifications from those standards are desired, it’s back to the regular Titan line-up. If you have a kit that needs one of these, chances are the kit manufacturer will help you source one., We’ve continued our tradition of grouping engines by general design feature. Parma Technik in the Czech Republic (https://www.parmatechnik.cz/nove-motory/) are still building the old Walter Mikron III direct-drive, hanging four cylinder inline engines with 82hp. MW Fly sees it as a “green” engine for use in UAV, urban mobility platforms and general aviation. , Air conditioning is something of a surprise and delight feature of the Robinson conversions, which retain their automotive air conditioning hardware. Hummel Engines have powered aircraft designs like the Sonerai, Sonex, Ultracruiser Plus, Aerosport Quail, Avid Flyer, Corby Starlet and others. Another product of the Czech Republic’s aviation industry, currently the PBS engine alone has the correct combination of thrust, man-rated safety, size, and availability to make it a viable powerplant for Experimental/Amateur-Built aircraft use. Third, many of the costs associated with aircraft and part production are fixed. Attributes such as aircraft quality materials, full coverage oil lubrication system, and precision machining have made this product the industry favorite for decades. These relatively lightweight and compact engines are designed for higher rpm, therefore they all include a built-in spur gear propeller speed reduction unit (gearbox) to optimize propeller rpm. Learn how your comment data is processed. , And that’s what the U.S. RB series V8 engines: 383, 413, 426 Wedge, and 440 "raised B" engines 413 Max Wedge - information and factory dyno tests. That’s because new engines are expensive and overhauled engines are definitely less expensive, but nearly all-new when thoroughly rebuilt by a competent shop. Other sources for these robust Russian-designed radials are Jill Gemerzke’s M-14P Inc. Warranty terms are good, up to including pre-paid shipping when returning an engine for service. So when the rate goes down, the cost per part goes way up. Here you will find MTU diesel engines listed for sale or to buy. , A more minor change is AeroMomentum is now CNC-porting rather than hand-porting its cylinder heads. dealers are available, and seem to be enjoying a growing interest in these engines for various retro-themed airframes. Several options are available, including your choice of flat or roller tappets, or intake manifolds based on the original Lycoming model of combined oil sump/intake manifold or Superior’s cold air style intake. AU $2,800.00. It features custom 8620 alloy gears (these aren’t quick change auto racing gears), and like many of AeroMomentum’s other parts, is designed in-house; forged, machined, heat-treat and otherwise produced by out-of-house vendors; then assembled in-house at AeroMomentum. The KR-1B motorglider is a standard KR-1 with modified outer wing sections. And the current time between replacement (not overhaul) is just 1200 hours (2000 hours is the projected eventual TBR). , For 2020, Auto PSRU’s is phasing out the VW350 gearbox for an updated version, the SD400 (the numerals indicate the unit’s horsepower capacity). It’s too bad the 185-hp Warner hasn’t made it back to production as it’s a perfect fit for many experimental aircraft, especially replicas. Remember that with some engines what can be thought of as a new engine is actually a combination of mainly new and a few used, rebuilt parts. , The other change was from the originally intended Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) crankshaft to a traditional forging. I realize importing from Europe wouldn’t make much sense in most cases, but, for completion’s sake: Germany’s Sauer Flugmotoren (http://www.sauer-flugmotorenbau.de) are offering VW conversions from 60hp up to 110hp in certified as well as uncertified versions. , Furthermore, along with the costly investment in forging dies, Pegasus is ready with relatively high volume parts runs by aviation standards—100 engines—to hopefully satisfy start-up demand. , The 3.3-liter is arrived at by combining the enlarged bore of the 3.0-liter with a new, made in the USA stroker crankshaft hewn from billet. Many Sonerai builders are past builders of the currently popular all glass or all metal homebuilts that utilize aircraft engines and consume 8 to 12 gallons per hour of fuel. So, while the parent company stays busy with automotive and other outlets, American is keeping a low flame under the aviation engine part of the business. SPA offers the engine as a Jump Start Kit for the 3.0-liter; add the Jump Start Kit to the 3.0 and you get the 3.3. They’ve also provided important competition to help keep costs in line across the engine marketplace. content. A cascade of advantages follow, including cleaner oil, increased piston cooling, better fuel economy and so on. , There aren’t too many homebuilts that take all the muscle a 621 cubic inch M-14P radial can dish out, but if you want a new $50,000+ one from builder Motorstar Romania then Coy Aircraft Sales is also Motorstar NA, and they can make it happen. Contact Info : ABC Kustums Mike Bishop 864-978-8379 Kenneth Davis 864-706-9650 [email protected] [email protected] gmail.com To provide slimmer packaging, Plumb has spent the last two years redesigning the oil sump and case to accommodate the intake runners. The CAM 100 displaces 1488cc and makes 100 hp; the CAM125 is a little larger at 1590cc and makes 125 hp. Aircraft Parts Indicators. The original design has thrust loads taken by the parent aluminum of the case, which can gall if run hard before fully wetted during break-in or under very hard loads or extreme time in service. A well-sorted combination by now, the R-2300 uses Revmaster’s own cylinder head and bristles with internal upgrades. ... sportscar powered by a pair of twin-rotor rotary engines combined into one. , Topping the roll-your-own method is to work with an overhaul shop. Both the alternator and ignition are integral to the engine, and both should be working as long as the engine is rotating. , Perhaps unique in general aviation, Jabirus are fitted with RAMAIR air ducts at the factory. , While Superior offers some certified engines, it is its XP line of experimental engines based on Lycoming architecture that are of interest to experimental builders. Interestingly, they say the majority of its activity is in two-cylinder engines these days, so the super light market is apparently robust. , It may look like a VW, but it’s really the VW engine completely re-engineered as an aviation engine—the Cadillac of VWs if you will. , Its bread-and-butter power plant is the R-2300 (2331cc, 142.2 cubic inches) at 82 hp using 3350 take-off rpm; the continuous rating is 2950 rpm. It’s worth noting, however, that Rotax engines do best on unleaded mogas because the lead in 100LL eventually accumulates as sludge in the gearbox. Superior is based in Texas and is Chinese-owned. There are the dual computers, electronic fuel injection and ignition, and it’s worth noting the fuel injection is returnless, meaning there is no need to plumb a fuel line from the engine back to the fuel tank. Even if the core engine you have isn’t the engine you need for your current build, it’s trading fodder. , A mainstream certified engine during WW-II and for quite a while later, the Franklin lives on thanks to the amazing parts inventory produced—mainly for military consumption—during the engine’s heyday. There are two gearbox ratios available; some can accommodate hydraulically-controlled constant-speed propellers along with either left- or right-hand rotation. Most obviously the cooling fins are more robust, the machined surfaces typically more organic in the way they flow from surface to surface, rather than the blocky functionality offered by stock Lycoming parts. , Last year we reported on the Monocoupe organization’s effort to put the 185-hp Warner engine back in production as the experimental-only 185X. OWNER: SCOTT CASLER . Also, with Continental now owned by the Chinese, Lycoming is the last large U.S.-owned aircraft engine manufacturer and thus has a leg-up in the drone/UAV market where military contracts lean toward U.S. A good example is crankshaft manufacturing. While we take considerable effort to insure accuracy and completeness, we appreciate any help in increasing the quality of our work. They’re happy enough with it to offer a five-year warranty against cylinder rusting on all Titan engines along with its normal two-year or TBO warranty on the rest of the engine assembly. Best known for his AX50 cylinder based on Lycoming 360/540 parallel-valve architecture, Higgs has combined that cylinder with his own Lycoming-based crankcase and intake designs to arrive at some very modern-looking flat engines that will fit under common kit-aircraft cowlings. Feb. 21/21 Advantages, Feb. 2/21 Aircraft, Lycoming, VW, Jan. 31/21 Home, Prices, CPI-2, Jan. 20/21 Aircraft (Rotax), Jan. 19/21 Aircraft (new photos) The affordable engine management system that YOU can program. Therefore a stock Continental accessory case would still work—if a moon-shaped shim was inserted in the gap—but Plumb wanted the better solution of modifying the case to fit. Therefore, even though engines are a considerable investment, it’s smart to make all the investment necessary to arrive at the airplane you want. There’s little wonder a “factory re-man” is considered new; not much more than the engine case, crankshaft, connecting rods, pushrods, rocker arms, some drive gears, and maybe some of the tin work (valve covers, pushrod tubes) is re-used. , For 2020, there are no hardware changes to the two well-developed AeroVee engines, but we can say the turbocharger water cooling system introduced last year has proven popular and is a near-universal option on the 100-hp engine. The four-banger is kept in stock for ready delivery; the six-cylinder is built—or perhaps we should say rebuilt—to order. gearbox adds 19 lbs, 108 lbs wo/radiator, w/ starter, exhaust; 127 lbs w/gearbox, 20 Ah 4.75 kWh Electric Propulsion System, 130 lbs w/ batteries, motor, and controls, 30 Ah 7.10 kWh Electric Propulsion System, 165 lbs w/ batteries, motor, and controls, 40 Ah 9.70 kWh Electric Propulsion System, 200 lbs w/ batteries, motor, and controls, 80 Ah 24.25 kWh Electric Propulsion System, 441 lbs w/ batteries, motor, and controls. William does business at Fly Corvair where there is a wealth of information, but his expertise is mainly made material at SPA. m, This page was last edited on 24 February 2021, at 09:17. Also convenient are the engine mounting points; they are identical to Jabiru and ULPower engines, which aids finding a workable mount.
