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

Nobody ever said that it's not possible. It's just not economical and
will never be.

Several people have said that but I've yet to see any analysis (with
numbers) to back up that contention.

Since (current) turbines are terribly inefficient at low throttle, I can
see the problem with an aircraft that spends most of the time doing
touch and goes.

But where is the crossover point as dictated by the physics of turbines?

C-182? C-209? Caravan? Whoops, that last one is already a turbine.
