Default What engine would you like?

What would be the ideal configuration for an aircraft engine, given
contemporary technology?

1. Start at 0 degrees F with no fuss?
2. Water cooling for dependable cabin heat?
3. Automatic mixture control for altitude & power?
4. Automatic timing control?
5. Jet fuel (availability)?
6. Piston (for economy)?
7. Choice of RPM at cruise for same power?

I believe that delivering brand new airplanes with 1940s engines makes
no sense whatever.
