My friends were so sick of me talking about this engine for the last 15 years. I thought the Delta Hawk team were on the right track. Direct drive, mechanical fuel system, turbo charged, supercharged, no valve train, no ignition system, clean looking installation low frontal area, (liquid cooled) so no shock cooling, and most importantly no fadec. I have always subscribed to the philosophy that once an engine is running as long as it has fuel and air and the throttle is held open it should continue to run! Ne electrical power required. This is a game changer for aviation. As a Canadian aviator I look forward to a cabin heater core, rather than a heat muff, safer with more heat available. I'm hoping there is an immersion type block heater, engine preheat for winter operations. Congratulations Delta Hawk !!!!!
Yeah. Because so many airports have diesel pumps. For SKY TRUCKERS! ROFLMAO. And as soon as the EPA gets around to emission requirements for "aero diesels" they're DONE with that 2-stroke JOKE.
Their backers, like the folks who bought them out a few years ago are already billionaires if I'm not mistaken, with all of the R&D money spent their target does indeed seem to be taking over the piston category with most of the sales coming from UAVs I reckon since the GA market seems to be smaller; by how much, I haven't researched that yet

When can we expect a 172 or 182 privately-owned and operational "out in the wild" with a Deltahawk?
One day, I would love to replace the 225hp, E225-8 Continental in my 1950 Bonanza, with a 235hp DeltaHawk.
How about an OP/OC Double Acting 2stroke engines and maybe even add Sleeve Valves
I thought ol’ Zoomie was banned from the SnF grounds for acting like a lunatic. Is he on meds now?
This is awesome! Glad to see the future is now!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What about the Velocity V-Twin for DeltaHawk as there is already one running
RV14
Jet A
About time, can’t wait for the release
put them in everythinggggg

@@deeremeyer1749 ever heard of jet A ???,,, you do know 100 LL has more lead than leaded mogas had..... ROFLMAO.
If the engine is as good as is said, you'd think the company is likely takeover candidate.

If it takes Jet A it is NOT a diesel. Jet A is AVIATION KEROSENE.
ROFLMAO.
A diesel-cycle engine. It is an engine type. Like 4 cycle vs 2 cycle vs turbine. A turboprop can burn many fuel types.
