wouldn't that be a nice starting point for an aircraft engine?

A flat torque curve until 2500 RPM and about 90HP, seems perfect for a
direct drive. One of the questions may be if the prop/hub will suffer
by the string power pulses of the diesel? Wonder what the
stripped-down engine weight is.


Don't reject PSRU, You will gain HP/lbs ratio. This engine is able to
deliver 160-180HP with more fuel (and torque) in the 3000-3500 rpm
range.

The limitation factor is the torque (350Nm).
