The Rotax 535 is an Austrian aircraft engine, that was designed and produced by Rotax of Gunskirchen for use in motor gliders. [1]

Contents

The first application for type certification to JAR 22, Appendix H, was made on 29 June 1982 and the first certification was granted on 27 April 1983. [1] It is out of production and is no longer offered for sale by Rotax. [2]

Design and development

The Rotax 535 is a twin cylinder two-stroke, in-line, 521.2 cc (31.8 cu in) displacement, liquid-cooled, gasoline engine design, with a 3:1 belt reduction drive. It employs dual Bosch or Ducati magnetic high-voltage condenser ignition systems, one or two carburetors and produces a maximum of 60 hp (45 kW) at 7200 rpm. It runs on 96 octane automotive gasoline or 100LL avgas. Lubrication is 50:1 super two stroke oil premixed with the fuel. [1]
