Is it possible (is it likely) that we will see a diesel aircraft
engine small enough for a Piper Cub?

Some guy put a mercedes diesel on a Piet years ago. Very nice looking
installation in the traditional Piet style. He even had a three pointed
star on the radiator. I wouldn't fancy propping it though.
