914 Officially discontinued?

Rotax has not made any public announcements regarding the discontinuation of the Rotax 914 engine. To the best of our knowledge, a Rotax 914 will remain available for the foreseeable future. We will release updates if Rotax makes any announcements in this regard.

Hi Steve. A year or so ago, Stemme GmbH informed owners of the S- series motor gliders that they would be ceasing manufacture of the modified 914 used in their aircraft and owners were invited to order a spare engine prior to production stopping. There is a thread on this Forum in relation to that. https://www.rotax-owner.com/en/912-914-technical-questions/10799-rotax-914-discontinued_2

My guess is some people have mis-interpreted the cessation of production of the Stemme modified engine as being “Rotax discontinuing the 914”.

Here’s an extract from the S10-VT maintenance manual listing the differences from the standard 914 engine.

Cheers. 

That’s true since the beginning of this year
