Default small disel a/c engine?

The Wilksch engine slowly evolves.
It's 2 litres, 2-stroke turbo diesel using Jet A1 fuel. Produces
nearly as much power as the Thielert and is lighter.

It was originally complicated by "clever" bits which proved handicaps.
It's been simplified and is doing its Certification Endurance Tests at
Gloucester, Uk.
