Austro Engines new AE75R scaled up Norton/Midwest based engine
is very close to certification. It is 50% more displacement
than the Norton. HP is 75 HP at 7000 RPM in one rotor form. Over 500 one
rotor 50 HP engines have been sold for for Schhicher Motor Gliders.
Engine core weight is 61.7 pounds. Fire wall forward with cooling
system and coolant is 78.5 pounds.
This would be great in two rotor form at 150 HP.

Paul,
75 hp is perfect for my needs, have they projected any approximate pricing
yet ? Maybe bring a couple samples back across the pond for evaluation.

Austro probably won't sell to individuals. OEM only.
