Germany Federal parliamentary republic in central-western Europe

Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany, is a country in Central and Western Europe, lying between the Baltic and North Seas to the north, and the Alps to the south. It borders Denmark to the north, Poland and the Czech Republic to the east, Austria and Switzerland to the south, France to the southwest, and Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands to the west.

Aircraft engine engine designed for use in powered aircraft

An aircraft engine is a component of the propulsion system for an aircraft that generates mechanical power. Aircraft engines are almost always either lightweight piston engines or gas turbines, except for small multicopter UAVs which are almost always electric aircraft.

Fellbach Place in Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Fellbach is a mid-sized town on the north-east Border of Stuttgart in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. With a population of approximately 43,700 as of December 2003, it is the second largest town in the District Rems-Murr-Kreis. The area of the town is 27.7 km2 (10.7 sq mi).

Design and development

The engine series are all twin-cylinder two-stroke, in-line, 625 cc (38.1 cu in) displacement, liquid-cooled, gasoline engine designs, with poly V belt reduction drives. They employ dual electronic ignition ignitions systems and produce 53 to 68 hp (40 to 51 kW), depending on the model, with a compression ratio of 9.5:1. [1]

Inline engine (aeronautics) reciprocating engine arranged with cylinders in banks aligned with the crankshaft

In aviation, an inline engine is a reciprocating engine with banks of cylinders, one behind another, rather than rows of cylinders, with each bank having any number of cylinders, but rarely more than six.

Reduction drive Device, containing a different gears.

A reduction drive is a mechanical device to shift rotational speed. A planetary reduction drive is a small scale version using ball bearings in an epicyclic arrangement instead of toothed gears.

Compression ratio the ratio of the volume of a combustion chamber from its largest capacity to its smallest capacity

The static compression ratio of an internal combustion engine or external combustion engine is a value that represents the ratio of the volume of its combustion chamber from its largest capacity to its smallest capacity. It is a fundamental specification for many common combustion engines.

Variants

Solo 2625 01
Model with a single diaphragm carburetor, that produces 53 hp (40 kW) at 5,900 rpm. [2]
Solo 2625 02
Model with dual diaphragm carburetors, that produces 64 hp (48 kW) at 6,500 rpm. [3]
Solo 2625 02i
Model with fuel injection, that produces 68 hp (51 kW) at 6,600 rpm. [1] [4]

Applications

Binder EB28

The Binder EB28 is a German two-seat, open-class self-launching powered sailplane designed and built by Binder Motorenbau.

The Binder EB29 is a German single-seat, open-class self-launching powered sailplane designed and built by Binder Motorenbau. Its wings are based on those of the EB28 edition, while the fuselage has been newly designed.

Glaser-Dirks DG-500 aircraft

General characteristics

Components

Propeller speed reduction unit

A propeller speed reduction unit is a gearbox or a belt and pulley device used to reduce the output revolutions per minute (rpm) from the higher input rpm of the powerplant. This allows the use of small displacement internal combustion automotive engines to turn aircraft propellers within an efficient speed range.
