Hi Paul,
I am in search of an engine for my experimental aerobatic aircraft. I
have my own design about ¾ built and the engine I was going to use is
no longer available. It was coming from 3W Germany and was a 4
cylinder horizontal opposed two stroke. ( I see the eye roll 😊) It
was 38 Lbs and put out 63 HP. (They filed for bankruptcy)
So I now have a need for 50 or more HP in a 40 Lb package and realize
a single rotor might do the trick.
I have previously used a Norton rotary on a plane and familiar with
the arrangement.
My question is do you know of anyone that produces a single rotor
design that is available off the shelf?
Or are there parts available for me to scratch build something like
this?
I can design a reduction drive if needed as I am a design engineer.
I can add a little weight up front but not much. As I have not
mounted the wing, I can shift it forward some but it does mess with
the Aerodynamic center I was hoping to achieve.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Robert Jones
There is AIXRO and Gieger in Germany.

May require a gear box or belt reduction.

Also you might find a used Austro out of a Alexander Schleicher motor glider.
I think the Chinese own Ausrtro engines now.
