ULPower News

Recommended Posts

ULPower is proud to announce that the range of engines on offer is extended with 4 new types 6-cylinder engines, ranging from 140 hp to 200 hp.

The installed weight of the UL520i and UL520iS is 108 kg [242 lb] and like the popular UL260 and UL350 line of engines the new engines are direct drive, horizontally opposed, air cooled, electronic ignition, multi-port fuel injection and FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control). The FADEC system controls the fuel/air ratio and ignition  from start-up to shutdown so the engine is always operating at optimal performance thereby increasing  power and economy while minimizing wear and tear and reducing pilot workload.

We are proud to confirm the first orders for the UL520i and UL520iS are coming in.  “I am pleased to announce the receipt of our first order for the new engine.”  Said Robert Helms, General Manager of UL Power North America.  “Renegade Light Sport plans to offer the UL520i at 180HP as an option on the beautiful Comet biplane which was previously powered by either 100 or 118HP engines.”

“Several other manufacturers are considering the new engines.” Said Robert Helms.  “The thrust to weight ratio is appealing to the designers of many aircraft.  Whether you are focused on short take-off, high economy, or high speed, the UL520i & UL520iS offer incredible performance, reduced weight, advanced technology and are competitively priced with other engines of the same horsepower.  We are also working with individual aircraft owners to develop firewall-forward kits for models not otherwise supported by their respective manufacturers.”
