Hi everyone,
what do you think of this:
high performance aircraft (http://www.hp-aircraft.de/edoc/home.html)
Itīs a start-up company currently building a brand new certified production pressurized 5seat twin aircraft.
The head of the company is Heiko Teegen long time aviation journalist, pilot, and editor of the German G/A mag "Pilot und Flugzeug" (Pilot and Airplane)
As you will see on the website itīs quite a revolutionary concept using two turbocharged liquid cooled V8 automobile Diesel engines mounted in the aft part of the fuselage behind the passengers driving 2 props
The website is still pretty new, does give some good information about the projct but is lacking enough pictures.
Please let me know what you think of this!
By the way. They are serious. At this early stage they have already secured 5,7 mio Euros and applied for type cerification with the german authorities. about 40 aircraft have been sold to date.
