NEWS ...
 | Jan. '08: To
ease the mass production of the gearbox, now it's housing is not welded
anymore, but thrilled out of massive material. Also the mount of the gearbox
is not made from welded tubes anymore, but made of dedicated metal profiles.
|
| Oct. '07:
The first batch of series Diesel aircraft
engines has been sold to customers.
|
| Sep. '07:
Between 01.-02. September '07, you
could visit us and see our Diesel MCR-01 on the big European Light
Aircraft exhibition "Salon
ULM Blois 2007" in France.
|
| July '07:
A dedicated company was founded to
cover the series production and world wide sales of our Diesel engines.
|
| Oct. '06: Between
13.-15. October '06, we joined the aircraft exhibition "1er
Salon de l'Aviation Verte Européen" in France.
|
| Sep. '06: For the first time, we went
public with an detailed
engine production offer. We published this for ten engines limited early
adopter program on the big European Light
Aircraft exhibition "Salon
ULM Blois 2006" in France.
|
| July '06: With the confidence from a several
years lasting test phase, where we spent several hundred hours
of successful flights, reaching a new dimension of fuel economy, a power
of 100 HP, a climb rate of 7 m/s, a top speed of 270 km/h and
an exceptional low noise level, we finished our development phase.
|
| Winter '05/06:
To ease the engine installation also for other
aircraft types, we developed an under fuselage mounted highly efficient
water cooler pack facilitating a simplified cowling form. Finally to ensure the very long TBO of 2000 h, we also made
last fine tunings of
the re-drive.
|
| Oct. '05: We celebrated 250 h successful
flight time!
|
| April '05: For lifetime and maintenance
reasons, we removed our old belt based gearbox and replaced it with our
completely new developed maintenance free (oil service only) gear based reduction drive.
| Winter '04/05: We further improve our
aerodynamic and gearbox design.
| Oct. '04: First and successful run of our new
Lord mount based gearbox coupling for robust cold start performance
| Sep. '04:
We celebrated 100 h successful
flight time!
| July. '04: We celebrated 50 h successful
flight time!
|
| Winter '03/04: Because of some vibrations, a
completely new engine mount equipped with high-tech silicon gel based long
life hydro mounts was built. This new mount design works so perfect, that we
claim to own here the new benchmark
in noise and vibration comfort declassing all existing gasoline engines ...
|
| Nov. '03: The most exciting moment - the first
take off with the diesel - was celebrated successfully!
|
| Sep. '03: All static ground tests of this
first engine version have been passed successfully. Therefore the complete
engine setup was shipped to Grenoble, where the aircraft Dynaero MCR-01 built
in the meantime was waiting for its thrust.
|
| June '03: The first version of the engine was
ready and turned for the very first time on our ground test rig.
|
| Winter '02/03: The first engine mount was
built, all components, which are not needed have been removed (e.g. exhaust
gas re-circulation system, vacuum pump, automotive air filter, manifold
airflow sensor, accessory belt drive plate ...). Other parts have been designed and mounted to the engine (e.g. a belt based
reduction drive unit, a wiring harness, an air intercooler, a contact less
alternator, a water cooler, a fuel cooler, a special muffler and last not
least an adapted cowling ...).
|

| Sep. '02: With
the official support from our sponsors, the project to develop the
first Diesel aircraft engine started. |
