As that point I got to thinking that the whole project was a scam to get goverment R & D funding and the thing would never get further than a few research aircraft.
I think Thielert gave a whole new meaning to the word "scam" - well to the extent actually possible in the aviation business
The deltahawk engine looks by far the best aviation deisel that I have seen so far and I hope that it can meet the expectations of the makers but I cant help thinking that the future is with the Lycoming FADEC mogas engine.
I agree. The tax hike on private use avtur has put paid to the retrofit market.
