Corvair Flight Engines

The Corvair is a horizontally opposed, direct drive, air cooled engine originally made by Chevrolet. Over 1.7 million engines were delivered. Aircraft conversions produce 100-120HP. The engine has been flying since 1960 and has evolved to a very smooth, reliable and robust power plant. All parts needed for a conversion are still manufactured and readily available. Complete test run engines can be purchased, but most builders choosing the Corvair are DIY builders working to assemble their own engine from parts with support from FlyCorvair/William Wynnes manuals, dvds, websites and Colleges.

William Wynne has paved the path for successful Corvair Flight Engine conversions for the last 20 years. More about William Wynne can be read HERE.
