Default Convert from Avgas to Jet-A Lindbergh Foundation Winner.


LINDBERGH FOUNDATION GRANT GOES TO ENGINE INNOVATOR
(http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...ll.html#195734)
Pilots of older aircraft worry about the future availability of 100LL
avgas, and environmentalists are not happy with the ecological impact
of leaded fuel. To satisfy both concerns, inventor Tom Ehresman of
Colorado is working on an engine modification that would allow
avgas-burning engines to convert to diesel or Jet-A. That is just the
kind of innovation the Lindbergh Foundation seeks to support -- new
aviation technology that preserves the health of our natural
environment. The grant of $10,580 reflects the amount that Charles
Lindbergh spent to build the Spirit of St. Louis. Ehresman hopes the
award will help to attract more investors, and if he has the financial
support, he could have a working prototype in two or three years. The
retrofit kit could go to market for about $6,000 or so, he estimated.
