 |
|
It seems to be an evident contradiction between :
- rotax 914 brochure claim (e.g. http://www.lockwood-aviation.com/Four_stroke.htm page 6 ) where it is showed a definite power loss with altitude, even before 16000 feet. This brochure is consistent with performance table on 914 operator engine manual (page 40)
- easa type certificate for this engine that states at page 6 that maximum continuous performance up to critical altitude of 16000 feet is 100 HP (73,5 kW).
Someone has information on this question ?

on rotax 914 115 HP is peak power (not continuous , only allowed for 5 minutes under some other restriction).
100 HP is max sustainable continuous power.
