Engineer Rod Sage Explains How to Get More Performance From an Aircraft

Denver-based Forced Aeromotive Technologies spent 18 years searching for a durable, cost-effective alternative to the high maintenance turbocharger systems. After years in engineering and certification efforts, the small company brought a solution to market: a supernormalizer system that provides 5000’ to 7000’ of extra performance for piston-powered aircraft.

Similar to the turbocharger and turbonormalizer systems, compressed air from a centrifugal air compressor is ducted into the engine air inlet. The supercharger, however, does not require specialized exhaust systems to collect and direct the exhaust stream. Instead, similar to an alternator, a rubber belt, driven by an accessory section pulley, turns the supercharger turbine.

The result is a lighter system that runs much cooler than a turbocharger, with much lower installation costs and maintenance costs.

Currently, Forced Aeromotive Technologies produces their supercharger systems for piston-powered aircraft including the Cessna 182, E through R models, as well as the Cirrus G1, G2, and G3 SR-22 aircraft. Join Aero-TV as Chief Engineer, Rod Sage, explains how the supercharger adds to an aircraft’s performance, in particular, the Cirrus SR-22.
