Four models – four engine choices!Depending on your specific requirements and preferences, choose either the well–proven, industry–standard Rotax 912UL(S), developing a reliable 80 or 100 hp with twin carburetors, or the fuel–injected, Rotax 912iS, featuring a robust 100 hp with the fuel/air mixture precisely computer controlled for ultra–smooth power delivery, improved high altitude performance, more useful torque, reduced emissions and improved fuel economy. The 912iS modern fuel injection also results in surer, easier starts, lower maintenance and lower operating costs all the way to its 2000-hour TBO. For flying in “hot and high” conditions, where a normally–aspirated engine will be challenged to maintain power at altitude, Flight Design offers the advantages of turbocharging with the Rotax 914 Turbo engine, able to maintain its 115 hp in altitude. Wherever you fly, Flight Design has engine power choices best suited to your exact requirements.
