Diamond ready to launch its own diesel engine !

According to a report from FlightGlobal, Diamond will announce at the next ILA show in Berlin the availability of its own engine, as an alternative to Thielert. The engine will also be made available to other manufacturers (a.k.a. Cessna for the C172 TDI).

This is not a new project, but it has certainly been accelerated by the recent financial problems by Thielert. I will keep an eye on that, and continue to keep you updated, also about other engines (Zoche, DeltaHawk, Mistral, …).
