Dear Mr Dito,
Thank you for your interest in our diesel engine activity.Today we are
marketing a 230 hp diesel engine named SR305. This engine is being certified
in Europe and we expect US certification by summer 2001.
The main characteristics of this engine are the following :
* 230hp
*
* Fuel Jet A1
* Capacity : 5 liters (305 in3)
* 4 Cylinders
* 4 stroke
* Air and oil cooled
* Single lever control
* Integrated engine monitoring
* Turbocharged
* Propeller rotation speed : 2200 tr/mn
* Reduced maintenance program (spaced visits)
* TBO objective : 3000 hours
* Casings, cylinders and cylinder heads of light alloy
* Dry weight : 180 kg
* Length : 820 mm
* Width : 930 mm
* Height : 731 mm
* Dynafocal mounting
This engine will be suitable for a wide variety of aircrafts. The details
regarding which aircraft manufacturer will choose our engine will be
released later (such as Cirrus Design for example).
Of course, the SR305 is also designed to replace existing engines such as
the IO360/ 540. The details of our STC program are not yet in place, we
expect to announce this during the six forthcoming months. We will be
keeping potential users informed via our web site. However I can confirm
that we are looking at the retrofit market for aircrafts such as :
Cessna 177
180
182
185
Piper Aztec
Arrow
Seminole
Seneca
Cherokee
Mooney M 20
Socata TB20
Rallye 235
Robin DR400
DR 500
Zlin 143
242
Slingsby
We have received a lot of inquiries regarding specific aircraft
modifications, requirements and prices, unfortunately until detailed work
has been done on the different aircraft we will not be in a position to
reply to all of these questions, your patience and understanding will be
greatly appreciated.
We are also planning a 300hp engine that is likely to take development work
and will therefore not be available to the market before the end of 2002 at
the earliest.
In the meantime I am building SMA’s database on potential SR305 engine
customers. In order to facilitate this process I would appreciate if you
could let me have some additional information on your needs.
The above information will remain strictly confidential and will only be
used by our sales department to establish who should handle your company
once our sales team has been formed. It would be better if could send this
information directly to me at the address indicated below.
Our coordinates are
