BENEFITS:

Fuel up your tanks with Kerosene or Diesel – decide for a CENTURION engine as your next engine. As a state-of-the-art aircraft engine, it is equipped with a completely electronic engine and a propeller management system, a single lever control and a reduction gearbox. For you, it offers safety, comfort, cost effectiveness, and performance.

SAFER:

The modern technology for the CENTURION engines makes flying safer. Its design, components, and materials as well as production process and quality assurance meet the highest aviation requirements. Carbon Monoxide poisoning or carburettor icing belong to history.

MORE COMFORT:

The true single lever control will make you feel like your own passenger. There is no manual prop setting, no boost pressure check, and no more mixture adjustments – just move the power lever! Also, the run up check before take-off is simple. Just press one button and all test procedures for the engine and propeller will be carried out automatically. This comfort is achieved by the FADEC system (Full Authority Digital Engine Control).

MORE COST EFFECTIVE:

Save up to 60 percent of the usual operating costs with half the consumption and lower fuel prices. The CENTURION engines run on less expensive Kerosene. Refuel without detours, Kerosene is available worldwide.
