Well my back of a fag packet calcs show that it could reduce per hr costs by 23%.

Which would be most welcome.

Lets face it - the current GA and training fleets are getting long in the tooth and its well overdue that we see a step change in the technology department.

If someone has the backing to develop and get approved a new GA diesel engine coupled to a modern composite airframe and digital integrated electronics you could have one hell of a lot of performace with little maintenance and high reliability.

Here's hoping.
