Rotron manufactures engines used in ParaJet powered paragliders. See Parajet for Volution paraglider models with Parajet engines.
-But for Parajet's Cyclone model paragliders, the Rotron Wankel-type engines appear.
“Rotron logo with the Wankel-type piston”
“Rotron 160 cc (pusher)”
-The Rotron 160 cc gives 25 HP at 9,600 rpm and it weighs 16.9 kg. It is a liquid cooled engine with a coolant weight of 1 kg. Equivalent thrust of 72 Kg with a 122 cm propeller. diameter.
-The second Rotron model is the 294 cc (pusher as well) with a similar architecture but giving 40 HP at 7,800 rpm.
“The 294 cc Rotron engine”
-Precisely the 294cc was installed on a Parajet Cyclone with a 5-blade propeller. This parajet flew over the summit of Mount Everest in 2007.
“The Cyclone with a Rotron engine”
From Appendix 9: The production of this brand, also known as Rotron Aero, of small engines for UAVs for military and civil use continues.
-The installation can be done as a Puller or Pusher.
-The new 200efi and 300efi models are similar, with the latter having a larger size, with the same appearance, like the 300rpc.
“Rotron 200efi and 300 efi”
“Rotron 300rpc”
-Although there are similarities, there are differences, for example the letters “rpc” indicate “Rotron pressurized cooling”.
-“Efi” refers to the standard “fuel injection” system.
From Appendix 10: Rotron low power rotary piston engines (Wankel type) for unmanned vehicle UAV, etc.
-The NWUAW adapts and uses them. Singularly the 300LCR and HFE and the 600LCR and HFE models.
“A 300 series rotary”
-HFE indicates “Heavy Fuel Engine” engine.
From Appendix 12: Some new models of this brand that have appeared. The RT-172tde is a classic piston.
-"Tde" is short-live, 10-50 Hrs, for target aircraft, etc.
“Rotron, 172 cc”
“RT-300tde rotary, short life”
“Another Short-Life version of a Rotron rotary”
“RT-300 HFE”
-1 rotor, 31 HP at 7500 rpm. With JP-5, Jet A-1 and JP-8
“RT-300 LCR”
-1 rotor, 32 HP at 7,500. With gasoline. 300cc displacement.
“RT-600 HFE”
-2 rotors, with 56 HP at 7,500 rpm. It runs on heavy fuel HFE (Heavy Fuel Engine), JP-5, JP-8 and Jet A-1.
“RT-600 LCR”
-2 rotors, with 56 HP at 7,500 rpm. It runs on gasoline.
-Rotron build new engines like the following:
“3-body Rotron”
-The TDE versions are short life (Short Life) indicated for target aircraft and drones. From 10 to 50 hours of life, depending on the application.
“Rotron double superimposed engine”
