True. I'm just looking at the evidence so far. Number of aviation diesels
designed from a car engine: 1 (I think). Percentage of those flying in
numbers for several years: 100. Number of aviation diesels designed from the
ground up: 3 (? - Zoche, sma, Deltahawk). Percentage flying in numbers for
several years: 0.


Well, today yes. But Thomas may recall the Luftwaffe Junkers Ju86 used
2-cycle Diesels. I'm sure they did not use FADECs....
