Design and development
The engine is based on the Volkswagen Wasserboxer engine. It is extensively modified for aircraft use and all the parts are custom made. These engines are derived from the certified engines produced by the same manufacturer and used in several motorgliders and small aircraft. This particular engine must be one of the largest displacement VW conversions that have been built, but it is unknown if it ever entered production.
