TAE Centurion marches on with various approvals
Thielert Aircraft Engines (TAE) has received European supplemental type certification for its 135hp (100kW) Centurion 1.7 diesel cycle engine in the Piper PA28 series. The approval comes hot on the heels of Australian and Croatian validation for the re-engining and paves the way for TAE to exploit the growing demand for diesel engines across Europe. “The strategy of offering pre-assembled installation kits with our motors for used aircraft has been so successful for Cessna 172s and Pipers that we are going to start offering our kits for Apex Aircraft Robin types [including the DR400, 120D, 140B, 180R and 200R], in the near future,” TAE says. The Centurion 1.7 has now been approved for more than 25 aircraft models and has exceeded 200,000 accumulated flying hours since its launch three years ago, the company adds. Meanwhile, TAE has appointed Herfortshire, UK-based Cabair as its 12th sales and support partner for the 1.7 and its larger 350hp Centurion 4.0 engine, which is offered for the twin-engined Cessna 414, 421, and 340 and the single-engined Cessna 206.
