Substantial progress has been made over the past two years in the technological status and production aspects of Stratified Charge Rotary Engines, a new propulsion technology for aircraft of the 1990's. A 400 HP aircraft engine, designed in cooperation with Avco-Lycoming (during late 1986) is currently undergoing testing at John Deere's Rotary Engine Division. Current status and design features are reported in this paper and related to overall research and technology enablement efforts toward several families of advanced liquid cooled, turbocharged and intercooled engines over a wide power range for commercial general aviation. Capabilities for high altitude, long endurance, military unmanned aircraft missions are examined. Application to fixed and rotary wing aircraft are planned.
