The DieselAir Newsletter Forum is ready!

We are pleased to announce that you can now start open discussions on all topics related to diesel engines for General Aviation by clicking and registering on our Forum page. We ask you to use it only for such topics, in the broadest sense: your opinion and questions on aerodiesels, questions on competing engine technologies, on available and future STC's, on new aircraft using a diesel as OEM component, regulations and certifications issues, and of course any personal experience of diesel aircraft is of interest to all our readers. Regarding such experiences, we ask you to refrain from hearsay opinions, and concentrate either on your own experience or on experience for which you can give a source who accepts to be quoted. Keep in mind our own goals: We have factual reasons to be convinced that the diesel engine has a major future for GA aircraft of upto 450 HP per engine, and can always explain why. We are certain that the diesel revolution will be good for GA as an industry, as a market and as a community. We are not supportive of any one diesel manufacturer but of all of them, since we know that, for many years, they are helping each other through their successes in creating this fascinating market.
So, log in and get started! We are waiting for your input.
