Design and development
The RW-133 was developed in 1979 as an all-new piston engine for amateur-built aircraft, including a new crankcase oil system. The helicopter version features a dry sump oil system and a turbocharger option increasing power to 160 hp (119 kW).[1] All components of the engine are cast and manufactured at RotorWay Foundries, except the Mallory Ignition and Dell'Orto carburetor.[2]
