MWfly: finally the new aviation engine Made in Italy

After more than 25 years of experimentation, almost 300 engines installed and continuous and unceasing research, today MWfly is an important reality in the international aircraft engine market. Technology, completely made in Italy and engines that are easily adaptable on single-engine aircraft, twin-engine aircraft, stol, helicopters, gyrocopters, hang gliders, seaplanes and drones. It is a feather in the cap of Italian engineering desired by two engineers with important experience in the automotive sector and determined to bring innovation and high technology to VDS, LSA and general aviation engines.
Today, 16 models are available with power between 100 and 160 horsepower, with clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation, pulling or pushing. Thanks to technology and innovation, it is the best power/weight ratio, because of its great thermodynamic efficiency and the best power/price ratio in the aviation market.
We are in MWFLY, an Italian company that produces engines for sport aviation, founded in 1994 with the name of MetalWork. Then in 2002 it became MWfly and began to market an engine that has completely different characteristics from those of the competition. It is a water-cooled engine with electronic injection and it is a modern engine that takes many of its characteristics from the automotive world because our background is from the automotive world. I worked in Ducati, while my partner, Guido Fantini, comes from Lamborghini.
The engine is produced in 16 different versions and two displacements. We produced 260 engines in the previous version which were called B22 and B25. In June of this year production of our new version called SPIRIT began in our new facility. It was designed and rethought for the arrival of a turbo version. It is an engine with electronic injection, completely water-cooled, with an overhead camshaft for greater efficiency and available with either a reduction gear or in direct drive. The engine is designed as a module and everything that is needed for the engine to operate is integrated into the engine, so this makes it easy to install. We installed the water expansion barrel, the coils and the entire ignition system on the engine including the start-relay and other components that are used for the operation of the engine. Installation and disassembly from the aircraft require a maximum time of 20 minutes.
As accessories we have provided heating for the cabin, the auxiliary generator and all the on-board instrumentation. For example, the EMS, the tool that allows you to check the engine data and the diagnosis of the engine itself. Also, we can remotely connect to the engine and check the status of the engine, even if it is on the other side of the world. A pump is integrated into the gearbox and we have designed a control system for both a hydraulic variable pitch propeller and hydraulic hub.
We have both a service and distribution network all over the world and if necessary it is possible to have remote assistance support within 48 hours of any engine malfunction. We are able to connect remotely and check the running status of the engine. We can also remotely create new maps and make dedicated assistance services for particular engine applications.
We have 4 integrated rear engine attachment points designed to minimize the engine mount. They are not compatible with those of other engines, not having the same weight as the competitors' engines. However, it is necessary to create a dedicated engine mount taking into account the balance of the aircraft. In addition to the four rear attachments that are integrated on the engine, we have the option of mounting four adapters to mount the engine in the bracket, so there are 4 attachments at the bottom.
The engine is modern, designed in the 2000s but our competition proposes engines designed in the 70s or even earlier. The engine has among other features, the best weight/power ratio and the best price/power ratio. Last thing, it is an all-Italian engine, the entire product, including all of the components are Italian. Produced in 16 versions, the same engine base allows us to produce a direct drive engine at 3300 rpm and a TBO of 2000 hours. Then we have versions with the gearbox, the first version runs at 4300 rpm and the second at 4700 rpm and for this reason they have two different TBOs compared to the 2000 hours of the direct version. Finally, there is a version dedicated for helicopters which is direct drive that runs at 4700 rpm and a TBO of 1500 hours.
Recently MWfly has made a series of investments, including the purchase of a new facility to prepare for the certification process for general aviation which provides for the D.O. Design Organization, P.O. Production Organization and then the T.C. of the engine. The D.O. has been completed and the process for the certification of the engine and production will begin shortly.

It looks very good..

[@andreacalarese7731]

Bravi ragazzi!

[@koenvangeleuken2853]

its 2021 and these guys come up with an new gasoline engine????????

[@flexairz]

Yes. Since 1994. Unless you can solve the battery energy density problem (physically impossible) gas engines rule.
