Diamond/Thielert news
Hi,
since this is discussed here frequently: - Diamond has selected the Williams FJ-33 powerplant for its D-Jet - Thielert claims to have 50 Centurion 1.7 diesel engines flying in the hand of customers, 40 of which in Diamond DA40 Stars, 10 in converted 172s. They have racked up 5000 hours so far. Early cooling and fuel flow problems in the DA40 have been corrected, they say. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Mike,
What percentage of the European delivered Diamond DA40s are being delivered with Thielert engines? When is Diamond going to start offering the Thielert engines in the US market? I don't know, I was just quoting from two news releases. I would guess about 50 percent, but that's a WAG. Your second question is one to pose to the FAA, which is stalling the certification of the engine, AFAIK. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
