    Porsche above the clouds 

    For decades Porsche has been reaching new heights with its powerful sports cars – and not only in the metaphorical sense: Porsche designers have also left their mark in aviation.

    On 16 January 1986, after more than six months, 300 take-offs and landings and 600 flying hours, Michael Schultz and Hans Kampik have almost made their way back to the small airfield in Donaueschingen. The list of what they have endured in their Mooney 231 is jaw-dropping: icy storms over Alaska, tropical weather in New Guinea, overzealous narcotics officers in Ecuador, extremely jittery military personnel in the air space above Angola. And now a blizzard is raging over the runway. Yet the small aircraft manages the last stage of its circumnavigation of the world – a triumph for man and machine. The 3.2-litre Porsche PFM 3200 aircraft engine has used 23,000 litres of premium fuel and 30 litres of oil, defied heat and cold and negotiated 100,000 kilometres in the air without complaint.

    N152MP, visiting and old Mooney friend and wondering why ...

    AOPA Blog text

    Sliding into N152MP was like meeting an old friend. The bright white Mooney with its bold red, yellow, and blue strips looked like most any other late 1980s Mooney until you looked inside or walked around front. There, the tightly cowled nose gave a clue as to what powered the composite three-blade prop–a Porsche engine.

    Sovereignty in the sky

      

    In August, at the invitation of Porsche aircraft engine specialist Uwe Sauter, Heubach Airport near Stuttgart was again transformed into a Mecca for exclusive aircraft that have a history with Porsche.

    The sportscar manufacturer’s aircraft engines make up a small but extremely interesting chapter in the rich history of Porsche. It is a story which reaches far back in time, as more than 100 years ago Ferdinand Porsche also used aircraft engines to establish the reputation of a diverse engineering company that would later become the company Porsche.

    By JOHN TAGLIABUE
    Published: April 15, 1985

    BONN, April 14— Porsche, the West German auto maker whose sports cars could probably qualify as a kind of low-flying aircraft, has embarked on an ambitious project to adapt one of its most powerful sports car engines for use in single-engine light planes, company officials have disclosed.
