Smart CDI diesel engine
Hi group,
can someone please tell me whether efforts are on the way already to turn the Smart CDI diesel engine into an aircraft engine? I'm looking for something (preferably a diesel) in the 80HP range. Maximum weight should be appr. 75 Kg (165 lb). It looks to me the larger of the Smart CDI's might fit the bill. thanks! |

I have been hunting for a 50 to 80 HP diesel for over a year. The Zoche looked good but I doubt if they will ever make it into production. If you find another one, I want one!!!!!!! |

Well, there is one, but, it comes with a whole kitplane attached to it ;-) Take a look at the Dutch RangeR, the offspring of the Dieselis, at: http://www.dac-ranger.nl/en_ranger.html Not a bad deal at all, considering what you get for its suggested price of EUR 40.000. Kumaros It's all Greek to me |

John It has occurred to me that a climb prop, combined with a "stutter box" to limit RPM once level cruise has been established, would be a way to take care of the "too fast" problems. Comments? -- Jim in NC |

Too bad. It is too heavy for LSA. Morgan and John, If you can do with just 50HP, Daihatsu has a jewel of a 659 cc 2-cycle common-rail turbodiesel. I don't know, however, if it's available outside Japan. These sophisticated engines sometimes are only available in the domestic market, in K-cars.

I wonder what it will take to get some of these. -- Jim in NC |
