Three Gallons Per Hour
Aero News has a story today about Indus Aviation flying a diesel
Thorpedo burning only three gallons of Jet-A per hour. It uses a WAM-120 turbocharged three-cylinder diesel engine generating 120 horsepower. One drawback of the engine - the installed weight is 279 pounds. But on the plus side it uses a mechanical control unit rather than electronic. The "projected" TBO is 3000 hours. Phil
