This new, efficient, lightweight system allows the RI 162F engine to maintain standard sea level performance up to higher density altitude than ever before. By not demanding any more power at altitude than is produced at sea level, the life of the engine is unaffected, while it's performance at higher altitude is enhanced. The principle of the ACIS is simple, but effective. Utilizing a belt-driven, supercharger concept, cooler outside air is compressed to a set pressure. The pressurized air from the ACIS is made available to the intake system through the throttle valve.
Manifold pressure is limited only by the amount of compressed air available.
Unique to this system is the continued redundancy of the RI 162F engine. All Rights Reserved.
