ULPower Aero Engines is Belgian engineering company which manufactures engines specifically designed for light aircraft/rotorcraft use.

Brief History

For several years a Belgian group of enthousiastic private individuals financed and developed a new modern technology, light weight engine for aircraft application. They believed they had the technology and knowledge to introduce a more modern alternative to the existing aircraft engines on the market. After 3 years of development and testing of several prototypes the first UL260i 71 kW (95 hp) engine was installed in an aircraft (a Lambert Mission M106). First flight tests were performed in December 2005. After proving the engine reliability on the ground and in the air, the project was merged into an official company structure. ULPower Aero Engines was officially formed in March 2006 to concentrate on the further design and manufacture of engines where light weight, power and reliability are important to the client. Series production commenced by the end of that year.

Available Engines
