Gogetair G750 Successfully Completes First Flight with TurboTech TP-R90 Turboprop Engine

Slovenian aircraft producer Gogetair has successfully conducted the maiden flight of its aircraft equipped with the innovative TurboTech TP-R90 turboprop engine, a significant leap for general aviation. This new generation engine provides a 30% fuel efficiency improvement, supports multiple fuel types - including biofuels - and is designed for light aircraft and UAVs. The lightweight design, lower emissions, and increased performance capabilities are about to revolutionize sustainable aviation, aligning with global industry goals for greener flight technologies.

A New Era of Propulsion

The TurboTech TP-R90 is an advanced turboprop engine developed specifically for light aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Designed for performance and efficiency, it offers a revolutionary blend of power and eco-friendly innovation. Unlike conventional piston engines, the TP-R90 provides a consistent 104 kW of power at altitude and is designed to operate on multiple fuel types, including sustainable biofuels. This flexibility underscores its commitment to supporting the aviation industry’s shift toward greener, more sustainable practices.

The engine’s key advantages include:

• Fuel Efficiency: The TP-R90 consumes 30% less fuel than equivalent engines, thanks to an integrated heat recovery system that enhances thermal efficiency. This translates into reduced operational costs and a smaller carbon footprint.

• Multi-fuel Capability: Designed to work with conventional aviation fuel, biofuels, and even synthetic fuels, it offers operators versatility in fuel choice, advancing efforts to lower emissions.

• Lightweight and Compact Design: The compact structure of the engine improves payload capacity and increases range without compromising performance.

• 3000-hour Time Between Overhaul (TBO): Extended TBO reduces maintenance costs and increases operational uptime, improving overall efficiency.

Gogetair’s Role in Aviation Innovation

This achievement underscores Gogetair’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of aviation technology.
