A game-changing engine upgrade to Aerochute’s flagship model; The Fiate MZ202

Prepare to be thrilled, aviation enthusiasts! Aerochute International, the prestigious manufacturer of recreational powered parachutes, has received official approval (Hummerchute-71-001 Issue 1) to install the remarkable Fiate MZ202 engine in its beloved Hummerchute model. This monumental development follows extensive testing and compliance measures, bringing a wave of excitement to the powered parachute community. With the discontinuation of the Rotax 582cc engine, the availability of the Fiate MZ202 as a commercial option signals a new era of power and performance.

The powerful, lightweight MZ 202 ultralight engine is the result of a union of space age materials, innovative design and state of the art manufacturing methods. 

The Fiate MZ202: A Thrilling Powerhouse:
When it comes to reliability and performance, the Fiate MZ202 engine reigns supreme in the world of aviation. This fan air-cooled, reed valve-controlled 2-cylinder-inline-2-stroke engine boasts two carburetors and Nikasil coated cylinders. Sporting one of the highest power-to-weight ratios in the 63 HP engine market, the MZ202 delivers exhilarating performance. Its fully electronic ignition system ensures maximum reliability and minimal maintenance, while the powerful 180 Watt alternator provides ample power for all your needs. Weighing a mere 42 kilograms (92 pounds), including the electric starter, carburetors, fuel pump, cooling system, and exhaust system, the MZ202 sets new standards in lightweight construction.

Unleashing Enhanced Performance and Features:
With the integration of the Fiate MZ202 engine, the Hummerchute MZ202 now boasts a standard electric starter motor, ensuring hassle-free takeoffs. Surpassing its predecessor, the MZ202 matches the weight of the Rotax 582 without the starter motor. The engine’s compact design and lightweight construction contribute to its remarkable performance. Weighing in at approximately 42 kilograms (92 pounds), it stands as one of the lightest engines in its class. Yet, don’t let its size fool you; the MZ202 delivers an impressive power output of around 63 horsepower at 6200 RPM, guaranteeing an adrenaline-pumping experience for powered parachuting enthusiasts. Moreover, its fuel efficiency aligns seamlessly with the Hummerchute’s reputation for economical operation, prolonging flight durations and reducing operating costs.

Reduced Maintenance Costs
The Fiate MZ202 engine offers an extended time between overhauls, with a recommended time between overhauls (TBO) of 500 hours on condition. This remarkable feature ensures a more economical lifetime service, reducing maintenance costs and allowing you to focus on what matters most—soaring through the skies with a broad smile on your face.

Aerochutes  Testament to Safety and Quality:
Aerochute International’s decision to replace the Rotax 582cc engine with the Fiate MZ202 engine was not made lightly. The company underwent extensive testing and compliance measures to ensure seamless integration and uncompromising safety. Rigorous evaluations of power output, fuel consumption, durability, and overall performance were conducted, meeting the highest standards set by the aviation industry. The successful completion of these tests paved the way for official approval and subsequent commercial availability, providing pilots with the utmost confidence in the upgraded Hummerchute model.
