This powerful engine is developed for helicopters and gyrocopters and is equipped with a forced cooling system. While hoovering the natural airflow is not sufficient to cool down the cylinder heads. So a fan driven by the crankshaft, blows air along the aluminium air boxes.
Thanks to the modified camshaft and inlet collector the UL350IHPS generates up to 150HP at 3500 rpm. This forced cooling system has an integrated oil radiator.
The forced cooling system can be installed on all ULPower engines which mean they can all be used in helicopter applications.
