Smart Turbo Diesel or VW Lugo Diesel
wrote: Go here................... http://www.ecofly.de/english.htm And then click on their prices and you will find a smart engine diesel all ready to install into aircraft. All the technical information is about the GAS version of the engine. The listed weight is 57Kg all up for that version. As a SWAG, I'll bet the Diesel is about 20-30% heavier.

All the technical information is about the GAS version of the engine. The listed weight is 57Kg all up for that version. As a SWAG, I'll bet the Diesel is about 20-30% heavier. That's probably a good estimate. The only solid information that I found while I interested in the subject was that the diesel option added about 100 pounds to the curb weight of a current production VW Golf or Jetta. My best guess would be that 90 pounds of that is the difference in the engine weight. Peter
