AeroVee Engines
Sonex Aircraft were originally designed to utilize the AeroConversions AeroVee or similar engines, and the AeroVee is the most-popular engine choice for Sonex builders. The AeroVee is a complete VW Conversion Engine Kit Package offered in 80 hp and turbocharged 100 hp versions, by AeroConversions, a product line of Sonex, LLC.
The AeroVee Engine Kit continues the Sonex Aircraft tradition of simple, elegant design. A 2180 cc aero-engine that can be run on 100LL or auto fuel, all of the supplied components are brand-new, zero-time parts.
The AeroVee comes as a complete kit that you can assemble yourself in approximately 12 hours, with the aid of an AeroVee Assembly and Installation Manual and an instructional video series, along with free Technical Support. The AeroVee Video Series is available for purchase separate from the engine kit for those that wish to preview the project.
The AeroVee engine kit also includes the AeroConversions AeroInjector.
 AeroVee 2.1 80hp: $11,300 |
 AeroVee Turbo 100hp: $15,000 |

Jabiru Engines
Sonex Aircraft has worked with Jabiru Engines for many years. In particular, the 120 hp Jabiru 3300 has become a very popular engine choice for our aircraft, making-up approximately one third of the worldwide fleet of flying Sonex Aircraft. Sonex Aircraft offers engine mounts for Jabiru 3300 engines (Jabiru 2200 mounts available for Legacy Sonex and Waiex aircraft), and our Sonex/Jabiru Cooling Baffle Kit and Installation Guide is available from our AeroConversions product line.
Sonex highly recommends the AeroConversions AeroInjector to replace the Jabiru-supplied Bing carb. Read more about the AeroInjector's advantages in "The $35 Hamburger!"
Jabiru Engines are sold and supported by Arion Aircraft.

UL Power Aero Engines
ULPower Engines have been developed specifically for use in light aircraft and are manufactured to the highest standards with fully electronic ignition and multi-point fuel injection (FADEC) system as standard equipment.
ULPower Engines feature dual electronic ignition (with variable timing), excellent power-to-weight ratio, and high fuel efficiency in a conventional configuration: Air-cooled, direct drive, horizontally opposed 4-cylinder.
All ULPower engines fly on avgas and auto fuel — even with mixtures up to 15% ethanol — and can be upgraded with back-up and safety systems.
Sonex Aircraft provides UL Power 260 and 350-series engine mount options for the new Sonex-B, Waiex-B, and Xenos-B models, and B-Model cowlings have been designed to accommodate UL Power 4-cylinder engines using UL Power's 110mm length prop hub with SAE-1 flange.
Kaolin Aviation (US Dealer for UL Power) has 3rd party support available for UL Power engine mounts to fit Legacy Sonex, Waiex and Xenos airframes and for Onex airframes. The Jabiru 2200 engine mount offered for Legacy Sonex Aircraft will fit UL260-series engines.
UL Power 260 and 350-series engines may be purchased from Sonex Aircraft, and technical support is offered by Kaolin Aviation. Engine packages include Exhaust, Baffle Kit, Alternator and Primary Fuel Pump.

Rotax 912-Series Engines
Rotax 912-series engines have become popular with some Sonex builders, particularly in international markets such as Europe and South America, and several customers have successfully made their own Rotax installations.
Although we do not sell Rotax engines, Sonex Aircraft provides Rotax 912-series engine mount options for the new line of B-Model aircraft, and B-Model cowlings have been designed to accomodate Rotax engines. Rotax 912-series engine mounts are also newly available for Legacy Sonex Aircraft. Sonex does not provide specific installation techical support for Rotax engines as there are many existing Rotax installation support sources already available.
