News from Thielert-Centurion ...
We received the following information from Sebastian Glaser, in charge of press relations with Thielert Engines, now Centurion: There are about 1,250 airplanes presently equipped with various Thielert engines. The number of CENTURION 2.0 litre engines currently flying in General Aviation is just over 1,000. The CENTURION V8 4.0liter project is currently on hold. There is, however, a large potential for the Cessna 206 for which Thielert already has obtained an STC.
