What Is A Dual Magneto?

A dual magneto is an aircraft magneto that incorporates a single drive source powering two magnetos. This makes for an arrangement in which the left and right magnetos are contained in a single housing and operated by a single magnet rotor and engine drive. A dual magneto is a convenient solution for most aircraft owners, as aircraft magnetos are almost always used in pairs, and dual magnetos contain just that.

Hartzell Aviation offers a great selection of dual magnetos as well as other reputable models such as the Bendix magneto.
