Hi Paul,

Do you know what is the current status of Mistral engines?

Ted Chipps


From all appearances they are out of biz! They have  a history of at least
25 years with two different names.

They functioned as if they were not really interested in producing product.
I started enough businesses to know you must generate a cash flow
as soon as possible. They repeatedly refused to sell parts. They attempted
the impossible and that was to certify an EFI/EFIS aircraft engine with the
FAA bloated bureaucracy.

Lycoming has been trying for at least ten years to do that.

If Mistral had attempted to certify the rotary with an aircraft carburettor and
aircraft magnetos it would have been certified 20 years ago.

I suspect Mistral just wanted to collect R&D money from the
socialist Swiss government. New, successful start ups with
new unique products are almost unheard of in socialist countries.
It is getting harder and harder to do that  in the US.

Trump for president.

Now there is a business man that really knows how to
start a successful business. With out robust business there is
no tax  money for anything the government needs to do, like defence
and social security. Young people need to fear starving in old age so they
save money when they are young enough to work.  This money then
can be loaned to start up companies and home purchasers.
A robust business environment provides jobs.

Unfortunately people running schools, colleges and the government all
failed economics 101 and that includes the idiot  Obamma.
