Mistral Moves Toward Certification Of 300HP Multi-Fuel Rotary Engine Taking 
Pre-Orders For Experimental Engine Series 

Mistral Engines has announced that the company has made 
significant advancements in its efforts to receive the FAA 
certification for its all-new, 300 horsepower, G-300 rotary 
aircraft engine. 

"We are extremely pleased with the progress that our 
engineering and development team has made in recent months on the 
G-300 engine," said Philippe Durr, CEO, Mistral Engines. 
"We have the engine mounted on a Maule MX-7 flight test 
aircraft and it is currently undergoing ground power tests at our 
U.S. base in DeLand, Florida." 

Durr also stated that, along with the pending flight tests, the 
company's engineering team is on the verge of successfully 
finishing structural testing in the US. The company is also testing 
extensively its proprietary Full Authority Digital Engine Control 
(FADEC) system achieving very positive results so far. Engine 
endurance tests are also scheduled to begin in the third-quarter of 
this year. 

The normally aspirated Mistral G-300 is a revolutionary three 
rotor engine that is intended to bridge the performance, 
reliability and cost gap between current piston and turbine 
engines. The company says that the new engine series "will 
deliver a responsible solution to the environmental, social and 
economic challenges faced by general aviation in the 21st 
century." 

The company reports it is seeing significant interest from 
aircraft, helicopter and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) 
manufacturers around the world. "Because of our confidence 
that we will receive FAA type certification for the G-300 within 
the year, we will be accepting advanced delivery pre-orders for the 
experimental version of both the G-200 and G-300 engines beginning 
at AERO Friedrichshafen," Durr said. "We are already in 
active talks with a number of world-class aircraft overhaul 
facilities about obtaining FAA Supplemental Type Certificates 
(STC's) for our engines on popular general aviation 
aircraft." 

The company has also announced a strong presence at European and 
U.S. trade shows for 2010. The Mistral Engines will have its 
innovative rotary aircraft engines on display at AERO in 
Friedrichshafen, EBACE in Geneva, EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh and 
AOPA Aviation Summit.
