November 2012 6 Growing Aviation Segments Amphibious LSA planes Amphibious planes offer new possibilities for: Pilots who do not want to be limited to airport infrastructure Geographic areas that are not equipped with a sufficient number of airports Amphibious planes are heavier and produce more drag than conventional planes Engines need to offer more power at lower weight 10 Jahre TAKE OFF: Rotax Aircraft Engines Datum: Mittwoch, 21. November 2012 7 Growing Aviation Segments Gyrocopters Gyrocopters became a fast growing segment globally during the last 10 years New applications increase demand: Agriculture Surveillance Traffic Monitoring New applications ask for improved performance and lower engine weight 10 Jahre TAKE OFF: Rotax Aircraft Engines Datum: Mittwoch, 21. November 2012 8 Growing Aviation Segments Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Civil UAVs are expected to be the fastest growing segment in civil aviation for the upcoming years Large scale integration into civil airspace is planned starting from 2015 (US) Fuel efficiency and safety are priorities #1 Target applications include: Border protection Search & Rescue Pipeline monitoring Agriculture 10 Jahre TAKE OFF: Rotax Aircraft Engines Datum: Mittwoch, 21.
