The Cors-Air M25Y Black Devil represents an Italian-manufactured aircraft engine, created and assembled by Cors-Air located in Barco di Bibbiano, intended primarily for use in powered parachutes and compact ultralight trikes designed for pilots with higher body mass.[1]
Design and development
The M25Y features a single-cylinder, two-stroke configuration with an air-cooled 173 cc (10.6 cu in) petrol engine. It utilises a poly V belt for the reduction drive, which is available with selectable ratios including 2.2:1, 2.3:1, 2.5:1, 2.6:1, 2.7:1, and 2.88:1. Ignition is managed by a single capacitor discharge system, while fuel delivery is handled through a WB37 diaphragm carburettor. This engine generates 21 hp (16 kW) at a rotational speed of 7900 rpm. The total mass of the unit, inclusive of the exhaust components, is 14.4 kg (31.7 lb).[1][2]
Equipped with a centrifugal clutch, the engine prevents propeller rotation at low engine speeds, enhancing safety particularly in powered paraglider operations.[2]
