Rotax V300T

Bombardier-Rotax V300T Aeroengine

Bombardier Recreational Products Division has introduced its new V300T aircraft engine.

The fuel-injected, watercooled, 120-degree V-6 engine line has a single overhead camshaft and starts with a normally aspirated 220-hp and a turbocharged 300-hp version. A dual redundant electronic engine control unit provides true single-lever control of throttle, prop and mixture setting. Adaptive knock controlling allows the engine to sense the fuel (Avgas or Mogas) and adjust the engine timing accordingly. Additionally, the engine control unit can be programmed with updated engine parameters and records maintenance data.

The VT220/300 engine control unit uses a redundant CANaerospace/AGATE data bus interface for glass-cockpits. A state-of-the-art engine monitoring unit (EMU), providing the pilot with all engine data, "service engine now" and "limp home" mode indications has been developed by Stock Flight Systems and is installed in a Murphy Moose aircraft used for engine flight tests. A second unit shows off in the panel of Bombardiers Piper PA28 Arrow which has already demonstrated the V300T performance and reliability in more than 1000 flight hours, while a third unit is used in the test aircraft of the launching customer for the turbocharged V300T.

The Bombardier aeroengine line is another flight critical CANaerospace/AGATE databus application following the distributed avionics system network in the FAA-certified Ae270 IBIS turboprop single engine aircraft. In the Ae270 as well as within the SATS and SOFIA programs, CANaerospace/AGATE databus has already demonstrated excellent reliability and immunity against electromagnetic interference.
