RED Aircraft is fully-certified, privately-owned German company specialising in the design, production, and servicing of high ... -feature compression-ignition engines and associated technologies such as powertrain electrification. Additionally, we offer bespoke engineering design from scratch, testing, and optimisation services for specific customer projects. Our wealth of accumulated field experience, know-how, and lessons-learned allow us to deliver optimal customer solutions within fast turn-around times and competitive budgets. RED’s proven track record spans over 25 years of active involvement in powertrain development and is supported by awarded certifications and customer testimonials. A compression-ignition engine, such as the RED A03 drives many environmental benefits when compared with other equivalent propulsion solutions. Characterised by significantly lower CO2 emissions, the RED A03 is also an optimal platform for the development of hybrid-electric aircraft installations. High thermodynamic efficiency drives low fuel consumption Optimised combustion results in reduced exhaust emissions Low exhaust-noise due to engine architecture. The RED A03 ecological features are low fuel burn low exhaust gas pollutions reduced noise emissions high thermodynamic efficiency Certification The RED A03 engine family attained type certification in 2014 and is now validated in many countries around the globe. read more
