Growing Aviation Segments
7
Amphibious LSA planes
Amphibious planes offer new possibilities for:
Pilots who do not want to be limited to
airport infrastructure
Geographic areas that are not equipped
with a sufficient number of airports
Amphibious planes are heavier and produce
more drag than conventional planes
Engines need to offer more power at lower
weight

Growing Aviation Segments
8
Gyrocopters became a fast growing segment
globally during the last 10 years
New applications increase demand:
Agriculture
Surveillance
Traffic Monitoring
New applications ask for improved
performance and lower engine weight

Growing Aviation Segments
9
Civil UAVs are expected to be the fastest
growing segment in civil aviation for the
upcoming years
Large scale integration into civil airspace is
planned starting from 2015 (US)
Fuel efficiency and safety are priorities #1
Target applications include:
Border protection
Pipeline monitoring
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)
Search & Rescue
Agriculture

Leaded fuel
General Aviation is responsible for
approximately half of the lead emitted to air
in the US (Source: EPA, 2010)
CO2 emissions and fuel consumption
Cost of fuel is the biggest challenge for sport
pilots today (Source: AOPA, 2012)
E10 Gasoline
Bio-fuels from renewable sources are more
aggressive to engine parts
Future Challenges

The Rotax 912 iS
11
Rotax 912 iS
Leaded fuel
The 912 iS does not need leaded fuel. It runs
on automotive standard 95 RON (“Super”)
gasoline
CO2 emissions and fuel consumption
The 912 iS delivers 38% to 70% better fuel
efficiency than comparable engines.
E10 Gasoline
The 912 iS has been designed, tested and
approved to run on E10 bio-fuel
