Descrizione del progetto
Gli aeromobili sportivi leggeri conquistano nuove vette
Le innovazioni che stanno trasformando la produzione di aeromobili in generale non sono così evidenti nei motori aeronautici. La mancanza di concorrenza sta creando un vento contrario alle innovazioni nei motori, in particolare per gli aeromobili sportivi leggeri: sono necessari motori con prestazioni migliori per mostrare il potenziale di questi piccoli velivoli. Il progetto B25Tr, finanziato dall’UE, presenterà un nuovo motore compatto e altamente efficiente per gli aeromobili sportivi leggeri, che promette una potenza elevata con un rapporto potenza-peso molto alto. Questo economico motore a turbocompressione raffreddato ad acqua consentirà agli aeromobili sportivi leggeri di raggiungere altitudini più elevate, diminuendo significativamente il consumo di carburante e le emissioni nocive. Una tale riduzione del consumo di carburante (20 litri/ora rispetto a 40 litri/ora) e degli effetti inquinanti è positiva per l’ambiente.
Obiettivo
B25Tr is a new and innovative turbocharged engine. The B25Tr will be proposed to the LSA and GA markets. To
realize this product, it is necessary to upgrade the aspirated engine to a turbo-charged engine.
The world of LSA manufacturers and that of aircraft engine manufacturers have advanced at two different
speeds: the aircrafts have advanced rapidly and with obvious innovative transformations, while the engines
have advanced slowly or almost still mainly due to the absence of competition. The LSA market is hungry for
technological innovation and is rapidly expanding worldwide and therefore it needs engines with greater
performance to better express the LSA aircraft potential. The GA market has stopped growing due to the high
costs of purchase and maintenance.
B25Tr introduces novelty and added value: it will offer the best power/weight ratio with the highest efficiency
of the market of aero engines. It will be the only engine completely water cooled, with a gear box, fuel
injection, SOHC, the crank shaft of ball bearing and connecting rod on needle bearing.
B25Tr delivers tangible and direct benefits: it allows to use the engine at Hight altitude: the LSA aircrafts will
have the possibility to use lightweight engines with more power, without loss of performance with altitude, so
will be more competitive with the actual GA aircrafts. It allows to offer a new generation engine with better
weight/power ratios and better performance. It allows to have cheaper purchase and maintenance costs. It
allows to have a reduction of fuel consumption and polluting effects with greater attention to the
environmental impact (20 litres/hour against the 40 litres/hours).
B25Tr addresses the needs of a large B2B and B2C user B25Tr addresses the needs of the LSA and GA Market,
based on aircraft characteristics. There is also the category of homebuilt aircrafts and drones used for border
control and safety control.
B25Tr’s Total Addressable Market (TAM) is 72bn EUR in EU 28.
