The Zanzottera MZ 100 is an Italian-made aircraft engine developed primarily for powered paraglider use.[1]
Initially created and manufactured by Zanzottera Technologies in Italy, the engine design, along with the company's entire line of two-stroke engines for ultralight aircraft, was later acquired by Compact Radial Engines based in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada.[2] Subsequently, Fiate Aviation Co., Ltd., headquartered in Hefei, Anhui, China, purchased Compact Radial Engines in August 2017. As of 2021, Fiate Aviation did not list the MZ 100 as part of their available product range.[3]
