When will a diesel be available for my aircraft?
See how many times we've been asked (organized by Aircraft Model).

News, facts, and comments on the coming revolution for piston-engine aircraft.

In 1998, one diesel engine flew on a converted airplane for the first time since 1945. Today, close to 4,000 singles and twins are flying. This is the beginning of a worldwide trend which will eventually allow a rebirth of the piston-engined aircraft, around new specs and new missions.
