New 3 Cylinder Aircraft Engine

Post by MoonlightVFR »

Well not really.

It is a new automotive engine. Wt is 88 lb - size is 20" L x 16 " H x 8" wide - incredibility HP out put is 400 HP.

You will see it perform in JUNE 2014. LeMans Formula 1.

But the point that I want to make is simply this: Well here we go again !

One observer has already started sketching plans to fit the Nissan DIG-T 3 cylinder into an ultralight aircraft.

Do you see the almost automatic connection to aviation. Dreams that NEVER get delivered.

I really just want a modern fuel that i can trust to burn in my 1930 's technology C-145 Continental engine
