    LS1 powered aircraft

    Advanced Flying Automobile (AFA) LS1 Engine Study This paper describes the results of a study determining the feasiblity of a reciprocating automotive engine for the Advanced Flying Automobile (AFA). Reliable proven automotive engines are preferred because of the high cost of certified aircraft engines and the technological gap created over the past fifty years of manufacturing know-how. This research effort summarizes knowledge required to convert the Corvette LS1 engine for highway and flight applications. Study concludes the LS1 engine is practical for the AFA design.
