Forced Aeromotive Technologies of Englewood, Colorado, has been issued an S.T.C. for installation of its supercharger system on Cirrus SR22 aircraft. The supernormalizer system utilizes a low boost, belt driven centrifugal supercharger for extra take-off, climb and cruise performance, said Rod Sage, the company’s chief engineer.
“The supercharger system brings increased performance and reliability to general aviation without the engine heat and maintenance headaches of turbocharger systems,” Sage told GeneralAviationNews.com.
The Forced Aeromotive supercharger currently is in use on 20 Cessna 182s with thousands of maintenance free hours logged, Sage pointed out. The supenormalizer system will be available soon at Cirrus Service centers across the country and is available now on line, he said.
The supercharged SR22 has “outstanding climb and economy,” Sage said. Comparing standard, turbo and supercharged Cirrus climb and fuel rates, he claimed a minute faster time to climb to 12,000 feet and almost three minutes saved in a climb to 17,000 feet.
HI MR ROD;
HAVE READ THE INFO FOR THE 182 AND AM INTRESTED IN GETTING INFO TO SEE IF THIS COULD BE INSTALLED ON AN LYC- O360 A1D WHICH I HAVE ON MY EXPERMENTAL THORP T-18.
I LIVE IN KERSEY, CO. AND FLY FIRE BOMBERS IN CALIFORNIA AND FLY BACK AND FORTH. THIS WOULD IMPROVE THE PROFORMANCE A LOT BECAUSE I LIKE TO FLY AT 12 AND 13 THOUSAND FT. A LOT.
IF THIS IS POSSIBLE, WOULD BE INTRESTED IN CHECKING IT OUT.
THANKS;
RESPECTFULLY WRITTEN;
