You might do well to consider a 2 stroke supercharged diesel engine. You
make one of those, and make it scaleable by adding more banks of
cylinders,
and the flying world will beat a path to your doorstep.


Hm. The flying world did not exactly beat any kind of path to the doorstep
of www.dair.co.uk, though they did exactly that. Wilksh company wasn't far
off, either, with equal lack of big success.


I suspect the two cylinders with 4 pistons is a bit unconventional, and will
have to work all the harder to prove itself.

I think the web page is about 10 years old, since much activity has taken
place. It looks like it is a bit heavy when you add all it needs to run in
an airplane, too. How about price? No mention of that, on the current
pages.
