Game Composites contacted us to manufacture the unique exhaust system and intake components to complement the streamlined cowling.
Anequim Project - UFMG (Brazil) - Fastest 4 cylinder equipped aircraft in the world.
August 2015: The Anequim Project has now officially met its goal as the fastest 4 cylinder equipped aircraft in the world. We traveled to Brazil to help the team with the record flight attempts and over a three day span we were able to set five new world records in the FAI C1A class.
The new records are as follows:
1. Speed over 3 km with restricted altitude
Previous record: Nemesis DR-90 - 466.83km/h (Jon Sharp)
New record claim: 521.08km/h
2. Speed over 15 km
Previous record: Nemesis DR-90 - 455.8 km/h (Jon Sharp)
New record claim: 511.19 km/h
3. Speed over 100 km closed course
Previous record: W.Air Race - 389.6 km/h (Richard Young)
New record claim: 490.14 km/h
4. Speed over 500 km closed course
Previous record: VariEze - 387.4 km/h (Klaus Savier)
New record claim: 493.74 km/h
5. Time to climb up to 3,000 meters
Previous record: Pushy Galore – 3 minutes and 8 seconds (Bruce Bohannon)
New record claim: 2 minutes and 26 seconds
The aircraft is using one of our AEIO-360 engines with the full complement of our products.
The aircraft is truly impressive in that it is a fixed gear, normally aspirated design.
