product and technology
MISTRAL Engines has developed a line of multi-fuel, liquid-cooled, electronically controlled rotary engines that meet the needs of 21st century general aviation.
History
MISTRAL Engines is a Swiss company with headquarters in Geneva (Switzerland) and a US subsidiary in DeLand, Florida.
It was founded in April 2001 by a group of pilots and aircraft owners to offer to the general aviation market a long-awaited and much needed new powerplant.
MISTRAL Engines selected the rotary engine technology as the base for the new engine for its key advantages in reliability, longevity, compactness, power-to-weight ratio and multi-fuel capability, among others. Combined with cutting-edge 21st century technology, years of hands-on flying experience and in-depth knowledge of the aviation industry: the MISTRAL Engine was born.

MISTRAL’s lead engine, the normally aspirated three-rotor G-300, is currently undergoing FAA type certification, alongside MISTRAL’s proprietary Digital Engine Management (DEM) system, under FAA project number TC9823 AT-E.
