Engine Market Research

[Michael T]

Hello Everyone,

 

I am an individual considering developing and manufacturing a range of Australian approved and experimental piston engines for recreational and commercial applications. I am very interested in getting other peoples thoughts as to if people would consider an alternative engine package and what sort of engines are people after.

 

Thanks in advance for your input

 

Regards

 

Michael

Hi Michael

 

firstly how big is your budget?

 

and what HP are you looking at?

 

think that regardless of the above the engine would be best running on Jet A1 or diesel due to the fact that avgas wont be around forever or lead based fuels to replace it.

 

also depending on what power levels you want you will need to work out weather it will be water or aircooled and forced induction or normally aspirated.

 

i have been involved in two projects and let me tell you to tear up you wallet now!

 

cheers
