Hush kit for the Pratt and Whitney JT8D-1 through -17 engines Two JT4As installed on a KLM DC-8. A hush kit is an aerodynamic device used to help reduce the noise produced by older aircraft jet engines. These devices are typically installed on older turbojet and low-bypass turbofan engines, as they are much louder than later high-bypass ...
The recommended engines for the Rebel are the 160 hp (120 kW) Lycoming O-320, the 116 hp (87 kW) Lycoming O-235 and the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912, although Bayerl et al. note that the aircraft does not perform well with less than 100 hp (75 kW).
