Maybe this is old news but it was news to me.  Learned
from a supplier here at work that Piper is working on
certifying an Austrian rotary engine.  Apparently they
are fed up with crank problems and such from the
dinosaurus engines we all love to hate.

Supposedly the new engine is part of their "Freedom
Fleet".  Anybody know details?

I doubt this. I live in Austria and am involved in Aviaiton here. Never
heard a whisper about an austrian rotary, but given the popularity of
certified aero engines from the austrian company Rotax, I'd say this was a
case of chinese whispers.

Maybe this is another April Fools joke.
