Growing Aviation Segments

7

Amphibious LSA planes

Amphibious planes offer new possibilities for:

Pilots who do not want to be limited to

airport infrastructure

Geographic areas that are not equipped

with a sufficient number of airports

Amphibious planes are heavier and produce

more drag than conventional planes

Engines need to offer more power at lower

weight

Growing Aviation Segments

8

Gyrocopters became a fast growing segment

globally during the last 10 years

New applications increase demand:

Agriculture

Surveillance

Traffic Monitoring

New applications ask for improved

performance and lower engine weight

Growing Aviation Segments

9

Civil UAVs are expected to be the fastest

growing segment in civil aviation for the

upcoming years

Large scale integration into civil airspace is

planned starting from 2015 (US)

Fuel efficiency and safety are priorities #1

Target applications include:

Border protection

Pipeline monitoring

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)

Search & Rescue

Agriculture

Leaded fuel

General Aviation is responsible for

approximately half of the lead emitted to air

in the US (Source: EPA, 2010)

CO2 emissions and fuel consumption

Cost of fuel is the biggest challenge for sport

pilots today (Source: AOPA, 2012)

E10 Gasoline

Bio-fuels from renewable sources are more

aggressive to engine parts

Future Challenges

Rotax 912 iS

Leaded fuel

The 912 iS does not need leaded fuel. It runs

on automotive standard 95 RON (“Super”)

gasoline

CO2 emissions and fuel consumption

The 912 iS delivers 38% to 70% better fuel

efficiency than comparable engines.

E10 Gasoline

The 912 iS has been designed, tested and

approved to run on E10 bio-fuel
