Out of curiosity... Can anyone tell me what sort or things would be tested or needed for an vehicle engine to be certified?

I know everything costs money...

But proven reliability must count for something, just wanna know what they want it to do...

Is seems stupid as most flat four car engines are far more advanced than their aircraft brothers, and the EJ20- EJ25 Subaru engine is a very reliable engine in the motoring world

Is the 13B rotary safe through CASA? Ive seen them in a few planes before but not sure of the aircrafts restrictions

I know certification is important to anything aircraft

Lycommings scare the crap out of me... Nothing says confidence like a robbie that takes more than five tryes to fire up and sounds like a lawnmower


Thanks Simon
