From time to time, we pause to focus on what truly matters. For us at Rotax, it’s the incredible spirit of the aviation community that keeps us soaring. Enabling so many people to do what they love never gets old and motivates us to do our best.

Our global community of aviation enthusiasts is as diverse as it gets. We are back country flyers and city hoppers, twin engines and single props, flight schools and solo adventurers, gyroplanes and high wings, taildraggers and helicopters. We are 80-year-old pilots and the pilot student on her first solo flight, world records and weekend trips, bush planes and commercial 4 seaters, kit planes and dream chasers.

And we are so much more. We are #UnitedByPassion

Seeing so many incredible aircraft and pilots trust Rotax to power their journeys inspires us every day. With this film, we wanted to give something back to our aviation community.

And we are excited to let you know that this is just the beginning. Over the next weeks and months, we will highlight the amazing stories and experiences behind #UnitedByPassion – and build upon them. So, stay tuned for more!

A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible, especially to our incredible partners!

Let’s hear it for the community!
