Mistral Engines

Mistral Engines SA was a Swiss developer and manufacturer of wankel rotary aviation light aircraft, helicopter and unmanned military vehicle engines. Its headquarters was in Geneva, Switzerland and was majority owned by DEA General Aviation, a Chinese company based in Guangdong. A wholly owned subsidiary company was headquartered in DeLand, Florida.

History
Mistral Engines formed in 2001 in Switzerland with the purpose of developing engines for light aircraft and helicopters.

The CEO of Mistral Engines was Phillippe Durr, and in March 2010, Ana Fontes became the company’s Marketing and Americas Sales Director.

In March 2010, Mistral announced that it had made significant progress toward the FAA certification of its new 300 horsepower, G-300 engine, but on 9 June, due to lack of financial support from investors, Mistral had to cease the development and certification of its G-300 engine.

Mistral Engines went into bankruptcy, but it was revoked in 2019 by the President of the Court of the District of La Côte and the company was reinstated. The company once again filed for bankruptcy and was liquidated in 2022 and terminated in 2024.
