Rotax announces 915 iS engine.

In an unusual move, Rotax who is known for keeping new products hush hush until they are ready to be released to the public, gave us a glimpse into 2017.  The engine is, as Marc Becker noted at the AirVenture 2015 press conference, a logical extension of the reliable and fuel efficient 9 series aircraft engine line.  Since the release of the 912 iS (Rotax’s first fuel injected model) over 3 years ago, customers have been asking when fuel injected 914 would be be released.  Well today we go our answer.  In the second quarter of 2017,  and that engine will be called the 915 iS.
