Constant Speed Propeller

You know Rotax could make all of this just go away if they’d offer a turbine engine with a C S propeller with the same fuel consumption and price point as the 912.  Jeez. How hard could that be 😀

Hi Jim, small light turbines exist (think generators for example) the problem is you save weight but the fuel burn is much higher, about 3 to 4 times more.  This is by the design.  The weight you save is great since you will need that to mount huge fuel tanks.

Person B: “There are restaurants that offer a porterhouse steak on the menu, but they cost more than a hamburger.”

Person C: “Thanks!”
