These questions have been edit into my first post!
How far is commercial general aviation away from seeing engine modernisation. I mean we still use mixture contols and magnetos!
When will light aircraft be like modern cars. i.e one power lever and thats it?
I have read about the new diesel cycle jet A-1 burning engines. Also, full authority digital engine controls being tested at the moment.
When will the day come when a G.A pilot can fly a light aircraft like airline pilots (one lever per engine to worry about)?
I await the day that aircraft are like ,odern cars. Plastic, one lever for thrust, sound proof and a pleasure to be a passenger.
