News of June 23, 2011Dennis Webb, CEO of DeltaHawk engines, answers to Bill Brogdon’s interview of June 1st.Dennis Webb writes: I appreciate my good friend Mr. Bill Brogdon’s very favorable comments about the future of diesel aviation, and we at DeltaHawk certainly concur with most of his statements. However, we do need to correct some important points. First, as DeltaHawk’s CEO, I can say with absolute authority that his statement “DeltaHawk was sold to the Chinese” is not accurate. DeltaHawk does have a deep business relationship with Hunan Sunward, an outstanding business partner and a company that will soon be proven to be one of the leaders of General Aviation in China and the world. But DeltaHawk has not been sold to any Chinese or other interests, and remains a North American owned and operated business. Second, we certainly agree with Bill Brogdon’s comments regarding the technical challenges of two-stroke engines, and that is one of the many reasons our development has taken quite a number of years. But we have overcome those technical challenges with proprietary, innovative technology, which will be rolled out to the aviation world as we commence delivery of production engines this year. We have just moved into our new 70,000 square foot headquarters, R&D, and production facility, where we are gearing up for production and continually hiring new staff as we work with the FAA to finalize certification. We are also working on airframe projects with numerous key partners, both civilian and military, that will become production products in the near term. Again, we appreciate Bill’s very positive comments about aviation diesels. We see a very exciting future. Dennis Webb, President and CEO, DeltaHawk Engines, Inc. posted at 5:53 AM |
