status of Delta Hawk diesel

The Delta Hawk has been VERY slow to come to the market, yet I have a vague memory of the first samples being very close to release. Anyone know the details, or of any flying apart from factory test/demo planes? TIA, If you want an engine that runs on diesel, you HAVE to take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yle0bNfmf0E It's a turbine engine mounted on a CH-701. Kinda neat! I suppose if ~90 HP isn't enough, you could always consider a twin design. ;-) |

It said that 90 HP was turning a 68" prop! Youtube text description says 12gph fuel use!!! A 3 bladed 68 inch prop, burning that much fuel even at turbine inefficiency sounds like a buttload more than 90 HP, to me! -- Jim in NC |

BTW, there is quite a bit of information about this setup on the web. Velly intelesting... -- Richard Lamb email me: web site: www.home.earthlink.net/~cavelamb |
