Is the Turbo Spinner adapted for any aircraft and engine?
The Turbo Spinner improves engine cooling during ground manouvres and climbing. Consequently the engine temperature range is reduced, avoiding thermal shock. As a result it improves the engine’s lifetime and reduces engine’s failures on ANY type of engine. The Turbo Spinner efficiency is going to be more obvious with direct drive propellers i.e: Jabiru engines. The only restriction is on the engine cowling: The air intakes must be positioned close to the propeller shaft, see picture below. A Fly Synthesis Stork for example is well suited for a Turbo Spinner, especially if fitted with a Jabiru engine (in which case the Turbo Spinner should come in standard). Most of the Tecnam and Fly Synthesis are well suited for a Turbo Spinner.
