We are in discussions with a company in Europe to modernize a 2 rotor Wankel in the 75hp range for aviation with SDS EFI and EI. Can't say much more than this right now. Plans are to get the engine on a test stand soon and start mapping it. Will let you know how this progresses once I have the ok.

With the slowdown in the Lycoming engine market due to long wait times, we are pursuing other smaller markets again. If this works out, we could revisit systems for other Wankels down the road.
