If only someone at BN could look at updating the good old TRI with 300hp diesels, but they are heavier. I was watching the development of the Mistral engine with interest, but sadly that has stopped for the time being. Admittedly it was still avgas powered but compact, light and almost turbine smooth it looked really promising (see the demo video). 'Cos if they develop something to replace avgas like ethanol then it would work.
Yes, i know, all dreams - who is going to put all that money in, but you would think that with all the islanders around they would do something.
I thought i read on BN's website that they were looking at diesel replacement of the Lycoming?
