My good buddy is home from the air force for a couple of weeks and he saw my Spyder. He said that the "Predator" un-manned aircraft actually has a Rotax 4cyl turbocharged engine in it. COOL! :2thumbs:

My wife ran into an older gentleman that was riding a BMW. When he noticed the Rotax sign he explained to her that he used to work for them building locomotive engines.

BRP does not build aircraft. That is Bombardier Aviation and Lear Jet. Bombardier was spun off several years ago and bought back by the family that is why they are BRP now. Rotax engines are used in a lot of ultra light aircraft.
