01 Story & Vision Innovation - Excellence - Experience
Vision: Story: Our solutions lead to new standards in the High-tech Industry. We design innovations with experience and excellence for the benefit of humanity Three top engineers and two experienced international managers are the founders of KTW SYSTEMS. Our team combines German engineering skills at the highest level and international top management knowledge from various sectors. Driven by innovation, the successful worldwide implementation of our German high-tech products, for the benefit of humanity, is our motivation. The story of KTW SYSTEMS began at a birthday party summer 2015, where one of the engineers met one of the managers. In an interesting discussion they shared their view on business, innovations and how anybody can influence the future. Further discussions started and the team grow by every discussion round. In summer 2017 the group decided that they are a perfect team to challenge the existing with their market proved innovations and founded KTW SYSTEMS. In October 2017 we announce the acquisition of OBRAC-Systems (www.obrac-systems.com), to integrate the business in KTW SYSTEMS. Since this acquisition, the company is fully operational!
02 Business Divisions Our Solutions lead to new standards in the High-tech industry
Engine Tech Well-known technology - newly designed
03 Problem Are turbines the only alternative for aircraft engines from 400 to 850 hp?
Problem: Total Cost of Ownership of turbines (compared to performance) is too high Aircraft turbines, for example from Rolls-Roye or Pratt & Whitney, have a high purchase price, high MRO* costs and high fuel consumption! For example, for a turbine with 450 hp, the total cost at 5,000 flight hours is approx. 1.6 million. In general, the power loss in higher altitude of these turbines is higher than in piston engines *MRO = Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul
04 Solution New Generation of aircraft piston engine
Solution: We introduce a new generation of a modular aircraft piston engine The Engineers of KTW SYSTEMS challenge the existing. We develop more fuel-efficient and low-emission engines for aviation, which meet the highest standards of operational safety. Our successful team of engineers have built engines for racing sport, formula 1 and aviation. We are developing now the first: modular aviation piston engine 8/12/16 cylinder
05 Product & -features Modular, cost efficient and high performance values
Modular piston engine Sometimes you can write a new history with an old history In the period of time from 1903 to 1945 piston engines were successfully implemented in aviation. Since 1950, when most aircraft engines were replaced by gas turbines, piston engine technology has undergone an intensive evolution, for example engines which fly with Avgas*. This evolution initiated KTW SYSTEMS to improve the overall efficiency and quality of piston powered aircraft engines. Our internal project name is Generation II, because our founder Norbert designed the Generation I engine (not modular, V12), as he worked as Head of Design Organisation for RED Aircraft! This engine is flying in the JAK 152 airplane. *Avgas will be banned because of the proportion of lead
Modular Piston Engine The principle in general Based on our experience in developing high performance engines and the integration of new technologies, the designed modular engines (diesel/kerosene principle) with watercooling, set new standards in terms of cost and performance efficiency and fuel economy. The engine flies with kerosene (Jet- A1 EU, Jet-A US, RP-3), which is available at every airport. Due to the unique design of the engine, up to 3 engines (8/12/16 cylinders from 400 to 850 hp) can be developed during one development phase. In addition to the high savings on development time and costs, the engine uses many identical components (valves, pumps, etc.). This reduction in complexity also has a huge impact on the cost structure..
Modular Piston Engine Main Product Features Low acquisition (<50% turbines), development and MRO costs High propulsive efficiency (see tables) = more power at a higher altitude with the same starting power High reliability and similar long life; Reduced workload of the pilot and noise emission of engine > 30% more weight than turbines Low fuel consumption with the same performance - less than 25% to 40% relative to turbines (see competition comparison))

Modular Piston Engine USP s in summary No comparable engine under license to purchase. For cost reasons engine trend is heading towards aluminum / titanium light-weight aviation piston engines 25-40 % less fuel consumption compared to turbines with the same power Fuel Specification: Kerosene (Jet-A1 EU, Jet-A US,RP-3) or Diesel - available at every airfield ww Min. 50% lower purchase price than turbine, TCO min. 30% lower than turbine Because of low consumption, more cargo can be taken or with the same tank size can be flown longer. Least but not last: MORE PROPULSIVE POWER as turbine
