Kyle Communications Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 https://www.radialmotion.com.au/ Apparently originally designed in SA for aircraft but seemingly getting put in cars and bikes. I have a call tonight asking me about them and I had to go and look it up. Very interesting 35k for a engine 75kg weight up to many hundreds of HP but around 100 to 150hp for aircraft 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thruster88 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 The engine is heavy and expensive. No proven gearbox available. Firewall forward with liquid cooling system, unproven gearbox, exhaust, alternator and engine management system it would weigh as much as a 180hp lycoming. A rotax 915 would be much lighter and cheaper. Confidence in a proven engine package, priceless for pilots that like flying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_galaga Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm inclined to agree. It would be great for a semi replica Bleriot though, which I've always fantasised about building 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
