Default zoche diesel status and specs?

does anyone know what is the status of the zoche radial diesel?
are any flying yet?


Don't believe it has ever flown, and I doubt that it will anytime soon.
Sure would love to have one on the front of my airplane, though.

Karel,

I'm a complete partisan, but my I suggest you look at the DeltaHawk.

www.deltahawkengines.com

The other "serious" players in the market are SMA and Thielert, both are
further into production than DeltaHawk, but SMA is certified only and I
don't think Thielert is selling in the states yet. If you have any
questions, I'd be happy to answer any that I can.

Regards,

Dave Driscoll

also, does anyone have specifications and/or pricing?
their own website www.zoche.de is not saying very much...

TIA,
Karel

Unfortunately, Zoche has bee at it for at least the past 20 years and
has yet to show one flying. Maybe he and Moller will get together and
put them in Aircars?

They apparently are competing for the world's supply of balonium and
unobtanium to make their products.

Seriously, it appears that Zoche's "engine" is a subsidy scam to obtain
German Gov't R&D money and will probably never result in anything
useful.

I also have my Zoche T-shirt, and it DOES fly (on me, in my
Lycoming-powered plane)!
