Be an inspired Cessna 170/172/175 owners, especially if you are near overhaul. Fly cheaper, faster, farther, higher and be environmentally friendly when doing it with our "Fast172" engine conversion. Quiet Aviation has installed a truly durable and proven GM Performance engine in the C172. Ground tests show that this engine consumes 1/3 the fuel of the Lyc.
This is not unreasonable, Rutan had similar savings with his liquid cooled Continental in the Voyager's around the World flight many years ago. But, ours on auto gas will give you an 80% savings in the operating costs, that is BIG. Now we will fly to prove our boast.

Report
Quiet Aviation LLC is a 16 year pioneer in the adaptation of modern automotive engines for general aviation. QA launched using the Chevy V8 small block 350 in a 1928 Curtis Robin (Pic), then in the Travel Air biplane (Pic), both with convincing results.
In 2008, this V8 was moved to a 172L (Pic) for some 80 hours of flight before the engine was replaced with an all aluminum GM LS2 V8 (open cowl Pic) where it was flown quite extensively with the engine mounted both upright and inverted (inverted Pic).Although in compliance with an FAA Issue Paper for the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC), the requirement for a mechanical fuel system worked good but was not efficient enough to be marketable.
