A Chinese manufacturer of engines for light aircraft is exporting them to Europe through a new distributor in France.
Air K Motors is the official European distributor of Zongshen Aero Engines. Three engines currently available have power outputs of 80hp, 100hp and a turbocharged 115hp engine. A fourth variant with 109hp and electronic fuel injection is in development.
The engines look remarkably like the Rotax series of aero engines and Zongshen confirms the C115 engine is identical to the Rotax 914 UL turbo. Zongshen has previously specialised in two and four stroke engines for scooters and motorcycles.

C100: 100hp, overall dimensions and weight identical to the Rotax 912S. TBO of 2000 hours. 20 years of calendar maturity before revision. Price €14,640 inc tax.
