NEWS FLASH: ROTAX 912 – THE ENGINE THAT CHANGED LIGHT AVIATION
Gunskirchen, Austria, February 14, 2014 – ROTAX celebrates the 25th Anniversary of its 912 engine. The company started the production of aircraft engines in the year 1973. The first certified aircraft engine was delivered in 1975.

The real question was, why did the engine stumble, then come back to life?
