The standard engine used is the {{convert|100|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant.[1] Operational historyReviewer Marino Boric described the design of the welded steel tube fuselage in a 2015 review as assuring "good protection for the crew".[1] Specifications (Super Guépard SG 12) {{Aircraft specs
