it is the 3 cylinder base derivated from the 4 cylinder Thielert. For airplane convertion, you need a stronger PSRU with a 3 cylinder engine versus 4 ones. I'm not sure you will have a lighter engine assembly. The Mercedes-Benz A-Class 1.7 liter turbodiesel used as the core of the Thielert Centurion is all light alloy, the 1.5 liter used in the Smart ForFour and the Mitsubishi Colt has a light alloy head and a cast iron block.
