Hi all, :grin:
I was thinking about the Vega engine for aircraft use, and specifically the Cosworth which was a die cast aluminum cylinder and case assembly and an aluminum, 16 valve cylinder head. They were really light weight, and developed 110hp. (1976)
It was fuel injected and developed max power at 5600 rpms, which should be good for an aircraft right? I think that it may be hard to get parts for, but seems that for a conversion it would be a decent option. I don't know why, but I was curious, nor that I will make a project out of this.
