The Birotary Engine – Key Technical Solution Advantages
- Large cross-section area for intake and exhaust ports
- High engine induction efficiency and compression ratio
- Seal surface contact and absence of inertia forces applied on sealing
- High RPM combined with high torque resulting in high specific output
- Short stroke design results in acceptable average piston speed even in high RPM mode of operation
- Design of sleeve valve train system used in birotary engine is simpler than traditionally used poppet valves in traditional internal combustion engines
- Mutual counterbalancing of rotating parts resulting in favorable NVH parameters (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness)
- Short axial dimension resulting in space for external devices (gearbox, electric motor, etc.)
Target Markets – User Benefits
Birotary Engine Type A3 has been developed for small sport airplanes (class LSA, S-LSA, ELSA, ULL, GA and Experimental) and for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV).
- High specific power output, especially compare to engine displacement and size
- Low weight
- Compact engine size with small size dimensions and cylindrical shape
- Minimum vibrations
- Design allows to operate the engine in very high RPM mode
- Simple maintenance, longer TBO periods, lower maintenance costs
