Patterson AeroSales introduces MW Aircraft Engines to the Americas !
Patterson AeroSales is pleased to introduce the MW B22 AeroPower Series of quality aircraft
engines to the Americas. MetalWork SNC, of Passirana Di Rho (MI), in northern Italy, have
appointed Patterson AeroSales to handle Sales and Marketing here for these new engines.
The B22 AeroPower Series of engines started as a completely new design in 2003, and has evolved
through testing, into a solid, modern solution to the need for reliable, economical, and lightweight
engines for the sport aircraft market. They are all 4 cylinder, horizontally-opposed, water cooled, 2.2
litre 4-strokes, with fuel injection and electronic ignition, and integral gear drive, and shock-absorbing
mount points for bed and/or ring mounts. They celebrate the best of Italian style and technology,
executed in Canadian metal alloys.
The B22L engine, of 115 hp @ 3,950 engine rpm/2,400 propeller, is expected to be very popular,
being lighter than older air-cooled engines, and more powerful than smaller hybrids. It will run happily
on either mogas or 100 LL, with economy cruise at under 5 gallons/hr., and weighs only 79 kg. (about
175 lb). A new production run is under way, and deliveries to North America will start in May this
year. Also currently shipping is the earlier B22D model, direct drive (no re-drive needed), producing
95 hp. @ 3,300 rpm. It is slightly lighter, at 74 kg.
In development, with shipping scheduled for fall, is the B22R, which will satisfy the need for power,
with 130 hp. @ 4,550 engine rpm/2,400 propeller, still under 200 lb. Weight. That won’t be the end,
though, as planning will take the line to 160 hp., and beyond, as development continues.
Pricing is extremely competitive, with the 115 hp. B22L going for about $19,000 (14,500 Euro), and
the B22D at about $16,500 (12,500 Euro). For now, pricing will remain in Euros, because of the
current world financial situation. Patterson AeroSales is offering substantial discounts for early firm
orders, placed before March 31, 2011, so call today!
“In today’s world of global corporate outsourcing and economic uncertainty, it makes more sense
than ever for manufacturing companies to stick to their core competencies. We design and build great
aircraft engines, and are confident that Patterson AeroSales, with many years in the light aircraft
market, will provide great marketing support for our customers” said Mr. Stefano Marella, head of
MetalWork.
