SWIFT FL150J/G
Weighing in at only 147 lbs (67 kgs) and with 115 hp (NA) and up to 130 hp (FI), the SWIFT FL150 is the same packaging as its bigger brother, the FALCON FL200, but with modified internals. With a service ceiling of 30,000', the FL150 is ideal for LSA, Kitplane builds, Drone, EAB, and countless of other applications.
Just like the rest of the E-Series Higgs line, the FL150 is designed as a clean sheet multi fuel solution. These engines will demonstrate our unique design for achieving the needed horsepower while keeping the weight of the jet burning engine at or below similar AVgas versions of these engines.

Ultra Compact Design
As you can see from the gallery of images, the SWIFT and FALCON engines use up a much smaller footprint than other small engines in this category. An amazing amount of power for such a small unit. It's the HIGGS way.
Using a rotax style mount configuration, the SWIFT and FALCON engines are also very easily mounted and adapted to many existing Ultralight, LSA, UAV, Drone vehicles, and aircraft.
Fuel Type & Consumption
This platform of engines has been designed from the ground up to be a true multi-fuel unit.
Designed to run on industry standard Jet fuel (Diesel (EN590), Jet A, Jet A-1, JP-5, DEF STAN 91-86, JP-8, DEF STAN 91-91, JP-8+100, Chinese Jet Fuel No 3). Will also run and perform on all gasolines where necessary, 80, 87, 91, 95, including 100LL, along with all bioderivatives. Other types of fuel include hydrogen gas, BSFCm 0.398 lb/hp-h (231g/kW-h). Pratt & Whitney PT-6 Turboprop by comparison is 0.507 lb/hp-h (308 g/kW-h) (on approach and idle 0.825 lb/hp-h (502 g/kW-h)).
