About Dynamic Engines
Mr. Giancarlo Giunchi, founder of Dynamic Engines, founded Aernova in 1986. It operates in the Aerospace business with multiple initiatives and manufactures 100% of its products in house.
Born like aerial working operator, during the years has grown up and looked at towards different directions, from maintenance, to flying training and finally to design and production.
Born like aerial working operator, during the years has grown up and looked at towards different directions, from maintenance, to flying training and finally to design and production. It is certified as FTO (Flying Training Organization) and holds training courses for commercial pilots using a method names as “Integrated” that allows the student to obtain within only 18 months, the Airline Transport Pilot License.
In the last 15 years, from the collaboration with several Italian and international research centers and universities, Aernova started a research program to develop a diesel engine for aviation application derived from automotive engine.
The project, called Diesel jet, reached the goal to become the first Italian piston engine certified since World War II.
This engine, obtained the European endurance record operating on a UAV of Alenia Aeronautica Company.
Aernova by Mr Giancarlo Giunchi was the first European company to license the manufacturing and assembly of its aeronautical reciprocating engines to a United States based aerospace company (Textron Lycoming) to power an UAV application with a Max Take-off Weight higher than one ton. Finally, Aernova designed and successfully tested, a control system aimed to enable UAV flight above erupting volcanic areas. This control system was developed in Meccanica Aeronautica, an Giancarlo Giunchi subsidiary company that operates in the field of avionics and aerospace electrical system.
Dynamic Engines is currently developing a new family of automotive diesel engine derivatives in the 100 hp – 1.000 hp class. This new family of diesel engines will have outstanding performance in terms of fuel consumption while operating at high altitude; approved fuels for this new family of engines are diesel fuel, Jet A1 and JP8.
Dynamic Engines is also developing a new automotive derivative engine for General Aviation and UAV applications, which uses regular automotive gasoline. This engine is turbocharged and fuel injection system provided. It will be sized for a rated power of about 115 hp for 87 kg and will have a 30% better fuel consumption respect to the most performing engine currently available in the market for the same class.
Furthermore, Dynamic Engines has successfully tested new engine system design solutions and more performing materials on our engine models such as titanium alloys for turbocharger rotating components.
Our Company has a trademark on the industrialization process used to convert and certify automotive engines in aeronautical ones; the process has been registered as “DYNAMIC ENGINES”.
Our main Customers are IAI, Alenia Aeronautica, Lycoming, and General Atomic.
