diesel 160-200HP engines

Dave, I like the Deltahawk package the way it is, but I do have a
hypothetical question.

What are the merits, of lack thereof, of using an electrically boosted
turbocharger to supply combustion air for starting or flight idle? It would
seem, at first glance, to be a simpler and lighter solution than using both
a roots supercharger and a turbo in series.

All,

In addition to being an lurker and occasional poster on RAH, I also
happen to be one of the engineers responsible for the DeltaHawk (or the
sole reason the engine hasn't been in full production for the last 3
years according to the marketing guy). In any case, as this is one of
my few areas of RAH expertise, I'd be happy to answer any questions that
people may have regarding the project.

The web site

www.deltahawkengines.com

is generally pretty up to date, but there are certainly always specific
questions that a FAQ won't answer.

Here's an interesting new diesel engine with much lower operating costs.
Looks like it would fill the bill for a Glass Goose (which I'm
considering)
very nicely. Waddya think? http://www.deltahawkengines.com/object00.htm
