Default new twin concept from Cirrus

I would be putting my money on a diesel engine. That would be huge in
Europe. With the price of gas going up in the US, it would be a big hit
here also.

It was my (mis?)understanding that a diesel is, HP/lb, heavier than a
standard aircraft engine, especially when getting into the higher (over 250)
HP models. Correct?

Does it tell you something about our times
when a representative of the Taliban is
welcome on the Yale University campus
but representatives of our own military
forces are not? - Tom Sowell, May 1, 2006
