Seneca with diesel engines?
My neibor just bought a Piper Seneca and was telling me over a bottle of beer that he is putting on diesel engines!
The advantage is that he can run 'em on jet fuel and double his range. (Same tanks, less GPH)
Also Jet A is cheaper than Avgas for more "savings".
TBO is also increased from 1800 hrs to 3000 hrs.
Sounds pretty wild to me.
Anybody else heard about installing diesel engines on aicraft?
(I know the Germans did some of that during world war II, but did not think it was very succesful)
