This paper presents the selection, design, and intial test of two 15 kw (20-hp), two-cylinder, two-stroke demonstrator engines for use on mini-RPV aircraft. The objectives are: (a) to provide a technology base for mini-RPV engines, using current high-production components; (b) to identify areas where future development and procurement costs can be reduced without compromising the propulsion system's ability and survivability of the concepts. Future development work must, therefore be aimed at applying this technology base to a propulsion system design to meet specific mini-RPV applications. (Kursetz)
