Will Rotax Turbo the 912iS?

in 912iS Technical Questions 9 years ago
I realize it's all speculation, but what is the consensus on if or when Rotax will turbo the 912iS? I am 6-12 months away from buying a new 914 and it would kill me if Rotax turboes the 912iS shortly thereafter!

    It's here! 915iS 135hp turbo. Well, I guess it's not actually here but at least it's coming. So now what do I do? My airframe is nearly ready for an engine, and this is the engine I have dreamed of, but it won't be available for 2 years! And I'm not even sure it will fit with the intercooler. Oh, the agony. Oh, the ecstasy.

    The overall physical size I'm sure is larger than the 912is because of the turbo and intercooler plus it weighs more and maybe your VNE may figure into this equation with the additional HP.
    I hope it will still fit your needs if you planned for a 912is.

    I would love to have one! But keeping up with the Jones will kill me so I will have to be content with my 912iS. Hell, I haven’t even started it yet, despite buying it as soon as Rotech could first get the 912iS into inventory. Oh well.., first start should be within a month or so. The first in our group has his iS flying and it is just wonderful. Can’t wait to get my CH750 flying.
