Zuri picks EdgePerformance to provide powerplant in TD2.0 aircraft

Czech Republic-based Zuri has selected Norwegian firm EdgePerformance to supply the thermal engine for its Technology Demonstrator (TD) 2.0 vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft. The core of this hybrid-electric powertrain will utilize a modified Rotax 912 ULS piston engine, sourced directly from EdgePerformance’s stock inventory. This decision marks a key step in Zuri's development program for the TD 2.0 vehicle. The project focuses on integrating a robust and reliable powerplant into their innovative VTOL design. Further details regarding the complete system integration are yet to be released by either company at this time.
