BRP has received the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Type Certificate for the new Rotax 912 iSc aircraft engine five months after its introduction.
“The EASA Type Certificate comes only a few weeks after the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) certified the Rotax 912 iS engine, allowing BRP to produce certified ROTAX 912 iSc engines for the European market. These are important milestones in the commercialisation of new aircraft engines,” said Gerd Ohrnberger, vice-president and
general manager, BRP-Powertrain.
BRP states that the Rotax 912 iS delivers up to 70% better fuel efficiency than other comparable engines, in light sport and ultralight aircraft.
After the EASA Type Certification, BRP’s Rotax aircraft engines team will now concentrate on getting the American Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification. <a href=’http://www.brp.com/en-gb/engines/rotax-aircraft-engines’ target=’_blank’>www.brp.com</a>
