In our May issue we reported on the supercharger STC offered by Forced Aeromotive Technologies (www.forcedaeromotive.com). It is a belt-driven (off of the accessory case) air compressor system that allows the engine to develop sea-level horsepower up to 7000 feet and 75 percent power as high as 12,000 feet. It’s offered for most Cessna 182s, Cirrus SR22s and Diamond DA40s.
We passed along comments and performance data from two aircraft owners—one of an SR22, the other of a DA40—who were quite satisfied with the mod.
