It is a Thielert Centurion 2.0 with 112kw
ANKA-A uses 155hp Turbocharged four-cylinder engine. What TEI develops for ANKA-S, will generate 170hp up to 20000ft. It will be enough to power up ANKA-S fuselage to 30000ft. Design studies are almost completed and prototype production will be commenced for trials.
Anka-S
3rd generation lighter Anka Flir
Thanks.
I just read that Thielert went bankrupt in 2008, does it affect the the plans for the engines used in Anka in anyway?
Another question, why don't you go for a more powerful turboprop engine, like the one used in Reaper? Of course it should be a bit smaller than the Honeywell engine used in MQ-9, but it'll vastly improve speed and payload. How about let's say, a 500 hp turboprop for Anka-S? Is that even going to work?
