Hi Paul.
What can you say about the VAZ rotary engine that will be used in
Berkut VL ? How does it compare to a Mazda ?
Best regards. Ben



Is this the same guy that built the Berkut in the states?
The Russian VAS is a Mazda copy. A lot of the KGB cars used rotaries
as it was easy for them to catch and apprehend the capitalist :)
The 3 rotor was certified in Russia as an aircraft engine.

i  Paul.

Thank  you  for  the  quick  reply and  the  pictures.

The  Berkut  VLis  a  Russian   2-seat  light  helicopter.
So  I  don't  think  they  are  the  same  guys.

Is  the  certificate  of  the  3-rotor  VAZ  engine  acceptable
in  America ?

Best  regards.
Ben

No it does not. Apparently the FAA does not have reciprocity agreement
with Russia.

Hi  again  Paul.

What  about  Australian
certification  ?

I have no idea. You will have to check with the OZ FAA

Thank  you  Paul.

One  more  question.    Are  Mazda  parts
interchangeable  with  VAZ ?

Ben


I don't know.
