SONEX AIRCRAFT LLC  AeroConversions product line includes  high-quality powerplants, systems and parts for use in non-certified aircraft (experimentals or other recreational aviation aircraft). Providing providing simple, elegant and low-cost solutions for sport flying AeroConversions product range extends from their aeroInjectors, throttle quadrants, hydraulic brakes, trim and cooling systems to their AeroVee 2.1 80 hp and AeroVee Turbo engine kits to be used for local assembly by the buyer as per manufacturer’s instructions. 

The AeroConversions AeroVee 2.1 is a VW conversion 2180 cc, 80 hp complete aero engine kit that can be run on AvGas or Auto Fuel. The AeroVee features dual ignition, using two spark plugs per cylinder and including four independent, solid-state ignition modules, all driven directly off the crankshaft/flywheel assembly. The AeroConversions secondary electronic ignition provides extremely reliable starting under the toughest conditions, while adding "dual-plus" ignition reliability by completing the AeroVee's quadruple-redundent ignition system. The AeroVee engine kit includes the AeroConversions AeroInjector, providing maximized power and optimized fuel economy in a simple, reliable carburetor design.

The AeroConversions AeroVee Turbo is rated as a 100 horsepower engine at sea level, and yields significant performance enhancement (an up-to 1300 fpm rate of climb, and a TAS of 175 mph at 8000') to the normally-aspirated AeroVee  2.1. It is offered as a complete kit package and can be installed in any suitable homebuilt aircraft while upgrade packages are available to convert existing 80hp AeroVee engines to the Turbo configuration.

The AeroVee Turbo utilizes the standard AeroVee-sized 32mm AeroInjector. As a "free-floating" system, boost is controlled only by throttle setting limited by a fixed waste gate and power still diminishes with gains in altitude, but losses are not nearly as-drastic as those with a normally-aspirated engine. This engine features also a dedicated thermostatically controlled turbo cooling system which weighs less-than 5 lbs. including coolant, allowing  the  turbocharger to be kept in top condition after engine shutdown. The cooling system will automatically shut-off when temperatures in the turbocharger's bearing block are reduced to specified levels, which typically takes about 20 minutes with under 0.1 volt drop in battery charge. The system is currently offered as a Bill of Materials so that customers can source at the lowest cost, and vary individual components to best fit their individual installations in a variety of airframe models.

All of the supplied engine components are brand-new, zero-time parts which can be assembled in a short period, with the aid of the respective engine assembly and installation manual, free instructional video series and free technical support from the manufacturer.
