Rotary

Fucking LS.

I Mean specifically vehicle engines

1uz

Do you even know what your doing?

youtube.com/watch?v=DJAZRLn0Hig here OP
surely you can beat the african intellect

on a related note anybody on Veeky Forums can into sailing?

>wanting to use a heavy liquid cooled engines with only one set of spark plugs.
enjoy crashing when your engine fails.

Rotax is the only choice if you are building a small plane.
Cheap (relatively) and FFA compliant.
Remember airplane engines need to be rebuilt at specific time intervals.

psst, hey kidd/o/

Only if you are flying for hire.
If you are flying for yourself, legally you can fly the bitch into the dirt and ignore all TBO's and service bulletins (unless an AD is attached to anything)

I know a guy who put a 13b in a rv7.

Honestly depends on the plane. A subaru boxer engine is something a lot of kit planes run. No point to do that when you can just get a lycoming for the same price

Get the new turbo charged Rotax.

Twin Hayabusa engines

Can i get a Lycoming swap into my dd?

sure, enjoy your 1930s tractor tier engine

>heavier than an LS
>less power
>more to go wrong
shit idea

Yes have since I was a wee lad

Who produces the best aircraft currently?

>best
Define this. Aircraft are highly specific in purpose, there is no single "best"

The best selling ones, the most popular.

Bombardier

Came here to say this.

I believe that was the only car engine (at least recently) to be FAA approved.

You can't just stick anything in an airplane and expect to legally fly in and out of airports in the US. The FAA won't like you very much.

This is why we will never have flying cars. Most Americans can't even manage to change their oil every 10k miles.

The best selling what? Airliner? Private jet? Single engine GA? Multi engine GA? Aerobatic/sport aircraft? That's like asking what is the best selling tool is, it's meaningless without more specificity.

Airbus or Boeing, which is better?

Ask any commercial pilot. They answer is always Boeing.

boeing. easilly. None of this floaty steering bullshit.

one from brutus should work

Is that also because of Airbus crash history?

Nothing fundamentally wrong. Controls exhibit euro quirks-- nose wheel steering on the left arm rest, etc... Ask any pilot who has flown both and the preference falls to Boeing (or Lockheed or Douglas for the older guys).

btfo by embraer

Don't use a fucking car engine on a plane you mong.

Boeing are running scared.

Airbus

>asking for car engines to use in a plane

If you are stupid enough to ask that question you will never build a plane.

You need about 1.8 liters PER CYLINDER and redline at like 2800 RPM.

Airbus is a self driving tesla, Boeing is a brand new 1970s Mach 1 Mustang with a twin turbo 2JZ swap.

Running from what? Bombardier tried to compete against Boeing broken and without a strong legal team and economy. Now they're getting fucked not only by Boeing but by US govt as well.

>literal who: the brand

>Airbus is a self driving tesla

Now i know why they crash so much.

Didn't this guy die because his Greatest Engine Ever Made™ stopped working while in the air?

>Plane is a velocity
>file name EZ

Eurofags will say airbus, everyone else (including non eurofag pilots) will say boeing.

lockheed martin?

>lockshill
>literally made a taxpayer money furnace

No.

>lockshill
>shill
I'm beginning to think that half of the people on Veeky Forums who use this word don't know what it fucking means
