ENGINE
Engine manufacturer ........................................... Technify Motors GmbH
Engine models ........................................ TAE 125-01 or TAE 125-02-99
The TAE 125-02-99 is the successor of the TAE 125-01. Both engine
variants have the same power output and the same propeller speeds but
different displacement. While the TAE 125-01 has 1689 ccm, the TAE
125-02-99 has 1991 ccm.
Both engine variants are liquid cooled in-line four-stroke 4-cylinder
engines with DOHC (double overhead camshaft) and are direct Diesel
injection engines with common-rail technology and turbocharging. Both
engine variants are controlled by a FADEC system. The propeller is
driven by a built-in gearbox (i = 1.69) with mechanical vibration damping
and overload release. The engine variants have an electrical self-starter
and an alternator.
▲ WARNING: The engine requires an electrical power source for
operation. If the main battery and alternator fail
simultaneously, the engine will operate for a very limited
time on FADEC backup battery power (TAE 125-02-99
installation).
Therefore, it is important to pay attention to indications of
alternator failure.
