Rotax Reveals 24 Volt Option for 915iS/c

Sporty Aircraft Engine Offers Up To 800W With No Added Weight

Rotax unveiled another option for its range of light aircraft engines with a 24 volt option on its 915iS.

The change will "provide pilots with a wide range of opportunities to upgrade their cockpits and flying experience - without added engine weight."

The new 915iS C24 enables aircraft to operate 24V aircraft board systems, digital displays, glass cockpits, and reserves for auxiliary instruments, tablets, and gadgets. 

Fancy, big screen panels are a popular change on the flight deck, but support for portable accoutrements is exciting to a general aviation population that has become enthralled by their multifunction devices. The electronic flight bag has become an invaluable, near essential part of hassle-free light aircraft pilotage.  Trinkets have, however,  brought some difficulties.  Maintaining a tablet’s power level while set to maximum brightness is a dedicated battery drainer that has resulted in some less-than-elegant kludges in the cockpit with cables and backup packs strewn about many a cramped cockpit. The addition of an ultra light 24V converter now allows the power supply to deliver up to 800W, able to power a suite of fancy modern gadgetry.

The 915 series is available in certified and uncertified versions, with installations nearly unlimited between off-the-shelf, experimental, and homebuilt aircraft.

“BRP-Rotax is known for uncompromising safety in the evolution of its aircraft engines – and with this technological upgrade we follow this tradition. Our award-winning 915iS engine welcomes a 24V-option to its line-up,” said vice president of sales, marketing, and communications Peter Oelsinger. The BRP-Rotax Management Board Member sees the change as a new canvas for builders to create their dream aircraft. “The new 24-Volt power supply delivers up to 800W for pilots to get creative: from cockpit equipment to digital conveniences."
