The Powersport RE-215 engine is a peripheral-ported, Mazda
13B rotary engine has been in development for over 10 years, with 500 hours of flight time
in an RV-4 and RV-3, and now 80 hours in our RV-6A. It is equipped with dual
electronic fuel injection/ignition computers and our 2.29 to 1 propeller speed reduction
drive. Our PSRD-300 reduction drive uses an internal spur gear that maintains right
hand rotation allowing the use of standard propellers and is extremely stiff torsional,
eliminating the possibility of torsional resonance that may occur with planetary gear
boxes when used with the strong power pulses of the rotary engine. The engine
has an extremely small frontal area to facilitate low drag and high propeller efficiency.
