Fuel-Efficient & Durable
Single-Rotor Wankel

The RT300-XE features a single-rotor rotary design that maximises power density while minimising moving mass. This rotary architecture delivers smooth, reliable torque and rapid response, ensuring consistent performance across demanding missions. With far fewer moving components than comparable reciprocating engines, it enables lighter, more compact airframe integration, improving efficiency, extending range and reducing maintenance requirements without sacrificing power.

Integrated Drive Options

The RT300-XE offers flange, direct and reduction drive options, including 2.5:1 or 2.2:1 ratios, providing exceptional flexibility across a wide range of propeller and rotor systems. This adaptable configuration simplifies integration, shortens development timelines and ensures optimal performance across diverse aviation and unmanned platforms.

Fuel-Efficient & Durable

The RT300-XE is engineered for fuel efficiency and long-term durability. Its liquid-cooled design, programmable fuel injection and inherently low-vibration architecture deliver excellent fuel economy at approximately 0.56 lbs per hp-hour, while minimising wear. With a quoted 1,000-hour TBO, it is ideally suited to high-mission-count and endurance-critical operations.

FAQ

Frequently
Asked Questions

What is the displacement and configuration of the RT300-XE?

The RT300-XE is a single-rotor rotary engine with a 300 cc displacement. 

What are the rated power outputs and weight?

It offers up to 35 hp to 50 hp peak, with continuous ratings of 22 hp or 32.5 hp, and the engine system weighs 28 kg (61.7 lbs).

What drives are supported and what is the rotation direction?

Drive types include flange, direct or reduction (2.5:1 or 2.2:1). The rotation is counter-clockwise (viewed forward).

What fuel system and fuel types are used?

Fuel injection system is standard. Fuel types: unleaded 95 octane or Avgas 100LL.

What is the fuel consumption figure?

Approximate fuel consumption is 0.56 lbs per hp-hour.

What cooling and starting systems are included?

Liquid cooling is used. Starting device: electric onboard starter.

What service life or TBO is quoted?

The quoted TBO (time between overhauls) is 1000 hours, subject to flight profile.

How does the RT300-XE support integration into compact platforms?

Its small form-factor, lightweight design and rotary architecture with minimal vibration allow streamlined cowlings, improved aerodynamics, and tighter packaging.

How is vibration and component wear managed?

The rotary design inherently minimises reciprocating mass and vibration; combined with liquid cooling and durable construction it supports long service intervals and high endurance.

Can the RT300-XE interface with external electrical or telemetry systems?

Yes - fuel injection is programmable with CANbus support, and optional generators (300 W 12 V or 2-3 kW at 28 V) are available
