TM100 engine of Baykar has two large alternators that provide electric power to the electrical systems on board. This takes power away from the propulsion leaving 100 hp to the propulsion. However a civilian system will not need as much power for the electrical systems. So a derivative engine from this engine can use smaller alternators and have a bigger power left for propulsion. I am guessing such a derivative engine can have as much as 110 hp to 115 hp propulsion power, looking at the large size of the alternators. This kind of power can be used to power both 2 seater and 4 seater airplanes. Rotax has 141 hp and the new 160 engines for 4 seaters but 115 hp is reportedly also used for 4 seaters.

Below is a new design 3 place fast-build KIT plane that uses 2 Rotax engines. Twin engines increase safety. The Florida maker invented this plane for a National Geographic video shoot in DR Congo and he needed a safe plane that will not emergency land as everywhere is covered with rainforests and the only way to land is to go back to base. He sold 275 kit until two and a half years ago. Mostly used for sightseeing. During his stay in DR Congo a military coup occurred and with 6 hours flight time he felt safer in the air than he would be on the ground, he said.
