Most current light aircraft (Cessnas, Pipers, etc.) are using Lycoming or Continental air-cooled engines.

However, aircraft using the Rotax 912 & 914 engines, which tends to be the newer and lighter designs are using liquid cooled engines.

I'm pretty certain that all of the new Diesels (DA42, some Pipers and Cessnas) are using liquid cooling.
