Diesel aircraft engines and are the light jets pushing out the twins?

I meant that you are unlikely to see them on production aircraft.

I'll buy that.

Though, I wouldn't go so far as to say it could never happen. Who knows?
Maybe there's an application where reduced weight or increased reliability
is more important, or perhaps the "fundamental" inefficiencies of small
turbines will turn out to not be so fundamental after all.

But you are right, for now the existing low-power turbines show no sign of
being targeted for certified, production aircraft.
