Ignition systems

[ARTHUR OKUN]

bendix is scintilla  "allied signal"  and  versions of  that magneto 
are still being used in present day light air craft engines "lycoming  
"  and  "continental   most   aircraft  use  2 mags and  2 plugs per 
cylinder.  what  do you think lawnmower type ignition systems are just 
permanent magnet magnetos  .    the   newer ones just use solid state
stuff to get rid of the  points and  condenser.
the faa likes it because it dosent require a  working electrical system
to keep the engine running.
