300 CI "Rotax" type motor

Drone applications are why Rotax continues to innovate with their small engines. GA is a sideline. Maybe there will be a commercial need for a 300hp recip powerplant in a drone eventually and they will spool up production for one. Probably not going to be a viable option for a 60 year old Cessna though.

Why not? Look at the aircraft from as far back as the 40's with turbine engines fitted to them.

Probably because a turbo Beaver or Otter has viable commercial use? The recips are quickly going away in the 135 market. I don’t think manufacturers will be clambering over one another to produce an engine for the average certified GA aircraft that usually only gets overhauled or replaced in 30 years?

Hope I’m wrong. It would be great to see a resurgence.
