Austro Engine is an Austrian manufacturer of aircraft engines based at Wiener Neustadt in Lower Austria. Founded in 2007, in 2008 the operating income was EUR 500.000 (2008) and there were 70 employees.

The production site and headquarters was built in 2007 with an investment of EUR 13 Million. The company was founded by Diamond Aircraft Industries and partners.

The Wankel aero-engines are developed from the MidWest AE series engines developed at Staverton by MidWest, a UK firm that was bought by Diamond.

It was in 2017 that China-based Wanfeng Aviation Industry acquired full ownership of the Austria-based Diamond Aircraft Group. Wanfeng’s acquisition also included Diamond’s sister company and diesel aerospace engine maker Austro Engine.
