LOOP News8 JUN 06: WILKSCH RESCHEDULESThe Glos-based company said, "There have been challenges in optimising production. Because of this, we have decided to carry out an in-depth review of all aspects of the process. "The main emphasis is on Design for Manufacture, cost and durability. Given the potential of markets such as light sport aircraft, issues of cost, volume and durability now demand more attention." The past year has been tough for Wilksch, with company founder Mark Wilksch stepping down as Director although he continues as a consultant. A group of investors which include new Executive Chairman John Murray, Williams F1 boss Patrick Head and Mike Newton, a Northern businessman, has refinanced the company. Talks have been going on with Indus Aviation, the Indian maker of the two-seater light sports aircraft, the Thorp T-211, about possible licencing of the Wilksch engine for the aircraft, both for sale in the US and Indian markets.
