The solar T62 T32,was manufactured as a true helicopter engine which never came to fruition and is now used by us for this application. It is rated at 160 HP continuous power, giving the ultrasport 496/555T an exceptional power to weight ratio.
All components relating to the retrofit are of aero-space grade 7075 T6 billet aluminum, CNC precision machined. There are two on-board computers that are responsible for total management of the turbine engine.
Also included within the parameters of the computers is a very precise and dependable governor to control any preset % rpm.
There is a fully automatic start sequencer which takes care of all critical engine parameters during start-up.
Programmed into the computers is a self diagnostic mode, should any fault present itself. Therefore there are no "brown-outs" programmed into the software, only color LEDs, depending on the severity of the fault.
The fuel used by this engine is either kerosene or diesel, depending on availability.
Mr. Platon Markidis has done an excellent work during the past 6 years in fine tuning this engine and is now one of the most successful and reliable engines available for the Ultrasport 496 / 555. The engine can be used on other helicopters although some modifications will need to be done on installation layout. Platon and Nicolas will be more than happy to help with you turbine application.
For more info please email us and Platon or Nicolas can answer all your questions or inquiries.
The engine is shipped in a crate with all components as well as a positioning rolling base that makes alignment and installation on the ultrasport 496 as easy as 1,2,3. All wires and fittings are clearly marked.
