Cessna Product Details

Forced Aeromotive Technologies is currently producing belt-driven supercharger systems for piston powered aircraft. We manufacture patented, STC'd systems, for Cessna 182, E through R models for the O-470-L, -R,. -S, -U ,and Texas Skyways O-470-UTS engine.

Our systems produce sea level take-off power to 7000 feet, and cruise climb power to 12,000 feet. Our test aircraft indicates 17 Kts. greater IAS at 12,000' in the supercharged configuration. Take off power is 28" of manifold pressure.

Please contact us anytime for details.

Technical Information

The supercharger is belt driven off the accessory drive, similar to the alternator. It will run much cooler than a turbocharger and should result in much lower maintenance costs. It will add 5-7000 feet of altitude performance to a Cessna 182. Our system was tested in excess of FL200. Impeller speed is a function of engine RPM and therefore over speed and bootstrapping are not considerations. There are no MP fluctuations while adjusting the throttle, or mixture. Idle cool down periods are not necessary.

• Efficient - uses approximately 4.0 horse power at cruise
• Light weight - 30.5 to 31.5 pounds
• Cool engine temperatures
• Easy pilot workload - no bootstrapping or overshoot.
• No TIT to monitor
• No pre-shut down cool down required.
• Easy installation - no modifications to exhaust system, carburetor or intake system.
• No engine-oil driven control systems
• No scavenge pump
• No waste gate
• Can be removed and the aircraft returned to the normally aspirated configuration.
