These gearbox conversion systems were designed as modifications of a popular SPG-2 system (was in production from 2000). It is simply flying better than competitors with Rotax 912 engines! National Championships -18-19, as well as FAI European and World Championships 2016-2019. For example our 2-place trike with Suzuki G13BB is a winner of Russian My opinion as an aviation engineer and pilot, and the opinion of many builders and pilots who have tried bothĪir Trikes conversions and 912 engines is that our GEO-Suzuki conversion in many aspects is the preferable choice. The GEO-Suzuki has its advantages, as does the Rotax 912.
Years and hundreds of flying hours without major problems. But my favourite engine for trikes for the last several years is G13BB.ĭifferent trikes were built and supplied to customers with these engines. G10 Turbo, G13BAĪnd G16B have about the same power as Rotax 912, 912S and 914. Trikes with G10 have good flight performances with significantly lower flight hour cost. Stock fuel injection has about the same HP as popular Rotax 582 model.
There is a lot of experience in converting of Subaru, Honda, Chevy, Nissan, Kawasaki, Yamaha, BMW and otherĮngines but light and small GEO-Suzuki G10, G13 and G16 are the most interesting engines for me as Weight-Shift control aircraft (trike) designer, builder and pilot. It is a pleasure for me to design new conversion systems and fly them. As a result, even being less expensive because of mass production, modern auto engine is way more advanced.
We all knowĪbout serious competition in this industry for the last decades. Automotive companies spent hundreds of million dollars for their new engines. I never considered them only as "cheap" way of aircraft engine development. Many people interpret that to mean weird, more complicated or lesser way for builders who cannot afford to buy “good & proven These engines have never been “alternative” for me. I started to use 4-stroke Auto-Moto engines for aircraft in early 90-th.
