Maule Air's new diesel aircraft is flying

Aviation Consumers flew the craft and writes a very positive account. It is an M-7 airframe with an SMA SR305 aero diesel. This is the first U.S.-made diesel-powered airplane on the market today. AC says: "We flew the thing and found it smooth and surprisingly quiet." The new M-9 carries a $55,000 price premium over an equivalent gas model. Our prognostic: The M-7 diesel will demonstrate excellent performance at higher altitudes, a significantly lower fuel consumption and therefore longer range, and will be trouble-free. Maule Air has information about it on their website, www.mauleairinc.com. It is in the Maule News section.
