Design and development
Development of the AE80R started in 2010 based on the {{convert|41|kW|hp|0|abbr=on}} Austro Engine AE50R. The AE80R is intended to power light-sport aircraft, ultralight aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The AE80R incorporates dual FADEC-controllers, a lossless lubrication system to reduce oil consumption. It is intended to weigh {{convert|27|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} and produce {{convert|60|kW|hp|0|abbr=on}}.
The engine is described as being vibration free, a useful attribute in an engine used for UAVs that can carry sensitive equipment affected by in-flight vibrations.
