Isn't this the one that run's on JP and therefore won't need a lot of
new infrastructure to support?

Read someplace that both L & C were looking at developing a new
generation engine. Could the DeltaHawk have them worried?

We can only hope. The obstacles are enormous.


Let's see if we can't squeeze three threads out of today's AvWeb. :-)

The American Diesel, Still Struggling For Air

"DeltaHawk, a small company based in Racine, Wis., has been working for
about a decade to develop a diesel engine for GA aircraft -- the only such
engines being built in the U.S., the company says. The engine first flew
back in May 2003 in a Velocity RG, and since then has been making the rounds
of trade shows as R&D continues. A few of the 200-hp engines have been built
for experimental aircraft, but the company says it is still at least 18
months away from having an FAA-certified engine, and money problems are
slowing down the process. With a little luck, the company hopes to sell more
than 3,600 of the engines in 2010. The company will be exhibiting its
technology at Sun 'n Fun, coming up in Lakeland, Fla., April 4-10."

Kurt Manufacturing will be machining the components for DeltaHawk. KM is
down the road from me, maybe five miles.
