"Corvair Flight Engines

The Corvair is a horizontally opposed, direct drive, air cooled engine originally made by Chevrolet. Over 1.7 million engines were delivered. Aircraft conversions produce 100-120HP.  The engine has been flying since 1960 and has evolved to a very smooth, reliable and robust power plant. All parts needed for a conversion are still manufactured and readily available. Complete test run engines can be purchased, but most builders choosing the Corvair are DIY builders working to assemble their own engine from parts with support from FlyCorvair/William Wynne’s manuals, dvd’s, websites and Colleges.

William Wynne has paved the path for successful Corvair Flight Engine conversions for the last 20 years.  More about William Wynne can be read HERE.

If your interest in a Corvair Flight Engine is just getting started you need to click HERE and read through the information.  We offer complimentary engine components for the Corvair.  A full list of the components we offer can be found HERE.

The Corvair engine is an excellent choice for a DIY engine solution for many different airframes.  We specifically have components for the Panther and Sonex, however most of our components are designed for any Corvair Flight Engine and airframe combination.

A good reference for Corvair powered Sonex/Cleanex and Panther airframes can be found HERE"





Jaguar C-X75 Hybrid Supercar development showcased on video

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

Jaguar showcase the development of the C-X75 hybrid supercar on video After little news on the Jaguar C-X75 – Jaguar’s hybrid supercar – after production plans were cancelled at the end of 2012, this last week has seen a flurry of activity. We’ve had a few select publications given the chance to take a ride – and a brief drive – in the C-X75 at Gaydon, and Jaguar decided to release some new photos of the C-X75 in a fetching shade of blue. We’ve also had the suggestion that Jaguar will give the F-Type a 700bhp version of the C-X75′s hybrid powerplant.

Jaguar XE full price & specs revealed – costs from £26,995 to £44,870

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

Jaguar XE full price & specs revealed – costs from £26,995 to £44,870 The new Jaguar XE had a glitzy London launch last month, but all we really got was the XE S; the lesser models were kept under wraps until the Paris Motor Show debut. But now that’s upon us we get full UK specs and prices for a car that will be the make or break of Jaguar, certainly in terms of becoming a real challenger to the German triumvirate and moving from niche maker to proper global player in the Premium market. And Jaguar are obviously feeling pretty bullish about the XE, because instead of offering it at a discount to their main challenger – the BMW 3-Series – they’ve actually come in at a bit of a premium.

Art installation moves 100,000 toy cars an hour

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

IT'S NO PICASSO, but this installation by conceptual artist Chris Burden certainly has the potential to be moving. Called Metropolis II, this amazing construction took Chris and his chief engineer four years to design and create and expands significantly on Metropolis I - the latest version has 18 roadways including one six-lane carriageway. It also has a rail network with HO-scale model trains, and running at capacity it pumps 100,000 cars around its network at a scale speed of 230mph.
