The RED A03 is a V12 four-stroke aircraft diesel engine designed and built by RED Aircraft GmbH of Adenau, Germany.[1]

Development

In 2012, its unit cost was US$170,000.[2] The engine received type approval from the European Aviation Safety Agency in December 2014 for use in any CS-23 aircraft in both normal and utility categories.[1] It powered the Yakovlev Yak-152 trainer on its 29 September 2016 first flight.[3] The RED A03 is presented by the ILA Berlin Air Show as an application in the Aerobatic sector and for Defence and Security.[4] The engine is proposed for the Hybrid Air Vehicles HAV 304/Airlander 10, a British hybrid airship design, powered by four engines and can be operated with two.[5]

On 30 March 2020, RED Aircraft received a certificate of aerospace quality management system standard EN 9100:2018, based on ISO 9001:2015, from AirCert.[6] RED Aircraft is a member of The German Aerospace Industry Association,[7] itself a member of the International Astronautical Federation.[8]

Design

It has twin double overhead camshafts. A marine version was planned for 522 kW/700 hp at 3,900 rpm.[9] The cylinder banks' angle is 80 degrees [10] It was designed by Vladimir Raikhlin, a German engineer born in Russia.
