new possibilities redundant INJectorS Fuel injection is controlled individually by the ECU via two redundant injectors per cylinder. This gives you a more fuel-efficient flight thanks to an optimized calibration of the fuel-air mixture. The outcome: longer flight distances. ECO Mode The engines automatically improve its fuel efficiency by switching to a lean ECO mode once the throttle is pulled back to a throttle setting below 97% after start and climb phases. buds The BRP Utility and Diagnostic Software for Rotax aircraft engines (BUDS Aircraft) is designed to give you insight into the engine management system and enables mechanics to make fast engine checks. EASE OF USE Various features such as knock control or engine management system (EMS) in combination with other advantages such as no carburator icing and transient engine behaviour lead to an improved and easy operation. EMS The Engine Management System (EMS) controls ignition, fuel- and air mixture electronically and is implemented redundantly to ensure a higher level of safety. The system is designed to be single fault redundant. ECU The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) controls the fuel and air mixture electronically and is implemented redundantly into the EMS to ensure a higher level of safety.

our collaborations with international aircraft manufacturers OEM statements Benefits down to earth first in the world DTA has been working with ROTAX for more than 20 years now, and we have been the first trike manufacturer in the world to install a Rotax 912 engine for trike aircrafts that flew round the world, back in 1995, so the relationship that we have with Rotax has been more than profitable for us. DTA always had a reputation for quality and reliability, so we do not even think of changing our engine provider since we always talk to people that share the same passion for flying. Rotax has always been receptive to our needs, so it is really a win-win business between us. George Monier DTA sas outstanding In one word: outstanding! This is one of the greatest developments in aviation piston engines since decades. The 912 series and the 915 is are all bringing the best from everything Rotax has built over the last 30 years: weight/power ratio, fuel economy, power, performances, high altitude benefits, excellent cost of ownership value... Paolo Pascale CEO, Costruzioni Aeronautiche TECNAM S.r.l. the perfect fit The high power to weight ratio provided by the 9 series Rotax is critical to the overall twin engine design of the AirCam. Add to that excellent reliability, quite operation and very good fuel efficiency and you have the perfect fit. Phillip Lockwood AirCam & Lockwood Aviation Supply Hands down the winner When it came to ICON choosing a powerplant for the A5 Aircraft based on power-to-weight, reliability, availability, and price... the Rotax 912 is was hands down the winner. Kirk Hawkins CEO, ICON Aircraft Inc. state of the art Rotax aircraft engines represent the state of the art in design, reliability and customer service. Our relationship with Rotax dates back to the mid 1980 s, we sell our aircraft worldwide with Rotax and with confidence. We have sold our aircraft to over 30 countries and can always rely on the exceptional reliability and worldwide customer service that Rotax delivers. Russell Duncan Director, Airborne Optimized cost Rotax engines have the perfect power-to-weight balance and and an efficient power production to optimize cost of ownership for private pilots as well as for flight schools and other commercial usage. The company offers a global network to support customers with technical advise, spares, services and AOG support everywhere to keep them flying. Ivo Boscarol CEO, Pipistrel d.o.o. Ajdovscina best product on the market We choose Rotax because we have known it for decades, even before aircraft engines, we knew Rotax for motorcycle engines. We believe it is currently the best product on the market in terms of reliability. Our company rejects the installation of handmade products or derivatives, Rotax has the technical and technological skills to meet our reliability and safety standards. And last but not least, we have a great feeling with the Italian distributor Luciano Sorlini S.p.A., they give us an excellent support, they are always ready to respond with courtesy, professionalism and friendliness to our requests.
