I called it turbo normalized, but it is a belt driven supercharger system from Forced Aeromotive.   ----  J.R.

ANOUNCEMENT!!

I'm on the road and can't wait to get home to do the next flight tests. But anyway Rod and I are convinced this is a working modification. So Rod has sent me the following to distribute. Plz excuse any typos as I'm trying to do this on my tablet. Perhaps someone can repost this on the other forum for me. Thnx.

Forced Aeromotive Technologies would like to certify “Brock’s blower” for the Diamond DA-40. FAT currently has 8 FAA and EASA STCs for supercharging aircraft and engines that we received through the certification process. We are the only company certifying belt driven superchargers and have become quite familiar with the process and regulations as they apply to our modifications. Knowing the process and what is involved, the remaining question is always “can enough of these be sold to justify the expense of certification?

When we certified the Cirrus SR22 supercharger we took 25 deposits (refundable) and with those commitments proceeded with some confidence to certification. This procedure is becoming more common in the industry for these more expensive STC projects. In return for their deposits, these individuals received a reduced price.

Our target price for the DA-40 supercharger kit is $24,500.00 and we will make our best effort to keep the price from going higher. We are seeking 25 owners to place deposits of $10,000.00 and in return FAT will guarantee a price of $19,500.00 for those individuals, even if the target price should increase over time. These deposits will be refundable until 2 weeks after notification of receipt of the STC. We fully expect to refund some of them for the obvious reasons, lost medical, sold the aircraft, etc. The certification period is expected to be 6-15 months. We are anxious to get started so if you plan to make a deposit please contact Rod Sage at:
