Today, BRP announced that they will\u00a0 add an electronic fuel injected model to their successful 912 line of aircraft engines.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Called the 912 iS, it will fall into the 100 hp category.\u00a0 So, will this be the end of the carb models we know and love?\u00a0 The feedback we have been given is, NO.\u00a0 The 912 iS will not be a replacement for the 912 ULS, rather the factory will keep producing new models.<\/p>\n

Will there be a cost increase in this new engine compared to the 912 ULS?\u00a0 YES.\u00a0 While we have not been given a suggested retail price, the engine comes with many things that are not included with the 912 ULS.\u00a0 A ring mount and exhaust system for starters.\u00a0 Then 2 fuel pumps and a whole bunch of electronics.\u00a0 We figure it would a lot like purchasing a 914UL.<\/p>\n

From what we see, the fuel consumption of the new engine has been reduced.\u00a0 At 5 gallons per hour, the 912 ULS was the class leader.\u00a0 Now they are boasting 4 gallons per hour on it’s younger sibling!\u00a0 When you consider the 912 iS has the same TBO –\u00a0 that means over the life of the engine, you will use 2000 gallons less fuel.\u00a0 With fuel hovering at the 4 dollar a gallon mark, that makes it $8000.00 cheaper to run.<\/p>\n

Well, if you think this is going to be a game changer in the big scheme of things, we do too!\u00a0 Right now there is not a lot of detailed information out there.\u00a0 Here is what we know:<\/p>\n

– The website for the new engine is http:\/\/flightevolution.com<\/a>
\n– If you want to see the engine in real life, come to SUN-N-FUN 2012.\u00a0 It will be in the LSA Mall area, just across from the main entrance.\u00a0 The space number is SE-001.<\/p>\n

We will keep you updated with all the new information, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
