Rotax 912

It's a practical alignment with where the industry is.

On the engine side, Tecnam has offered the P2008 platform with the Rotax 912 series and other markets.

The Rotax 912 is a horizontally opposed, four-cylinder engine with a strong track record in light sport and ultralight operations, and an expanding footprint in certificated aircraft.

It runs on automotive unleaded fuel in some configurations, which matters when you're looking at fuel costs across a fleet and the price of 100 low lead continues to be a conversation.

It's also generally considered lower cost to maintain than legacy piston power plants of comparable output.
