The DynaCam Engine has already been proven successful. The original developer, Dr. Karl Herrman, in conjunction with the Navy, spent millions developing and refining the design, which was used successfully to power Mark 46 torpedos for over 20 years.

The design reached FAA certification in the late 1950's. By the 1980's, it was further refined, retrofitted with new accessories and successfully installed and demonstrated in a 4-place Piper Turbo Arrow.

Over 40 prototypes have been built and tested. Hundreds of thousands of hours later, (40 years!) the engine has finally moved into production at Aero-Marine's new facility located in Ronkonkoma, New York.
