Aviation diesels and turbo's

Yes, I think there is a future for diesels. My main (and probably only) concern is the weight of a diesel versus a standard light-fuel burning IC av-engine. When the weight of a diesel is comparable to a standard IC engine, then you'll have a hum-dinger. Check this turboprop out... http://innodyn.com/aviation/index_aviation.html Interesting. Looking at the three other aero-diesel manufacturers, it looks like their engines are competitive on both weight and fuel consumption. Zoche aero-diesels.
