Development

The engine received type approval from the European Aviation Safety Agency in December 2014 for use in any CS-23 aircraft in both normal and utility categories.[2] It powered the Yakovlev Yak-152 trainer on its 29 September 2016 first flight.[3]

Designed by Russian engineer Vladimir Raikhlin, the cylinder banks' angle is 90 degrees and have twin double overhead camshafts. It weighs 250 kg (551 lb) net, 320 kg (705 lb) gross including two alternators, starters, engine and gearbox oil, heat exchanger and propeller governor. A marine version was planned for 522 kW/700 hp at 3,900 rpm.[4]

On 30 March 2020, RED Aircraft received a certificate of aerospace quality management system standard EN 9100:2018, based on ISO 9001:2015, from AirCert.[5]
