The Coming of diesel aircraft: The DieselAir Report is available!

Special announcement from Andre Teissier-duCros:
The DieselAir Report on the coming of Aerodiesel engines to general aviation aircraft is at last ready. It is, on a CDRom, the PowerPoint Presentation which I have used for lectures to EAA Chapters and to other pilots' associations and clubs. I intend to continue such lectures. The presentation of 91 slides constitutes material for a 50 minute conference. It addresses all private pilots, piston-engine aircraft owners, and aviation professionals active with such aircraft.

My presentation talks about:

* What is a diesel engine?
* Fundamental reasons why it lasts longer, uses less fuel, contains less moving parts, is easier to maintain.
* Little-known reason why it is virtually impossible to run out of fuel with a diesel.
* All reasons including the ones ignored by most medias, why the same aircraft converted to diesel becomes a far superior aircraft for practical cross-country IFR reasons.
* All reasons why the coming of aero-diesel is inevitable.
* Why is it that diesel-engined aircraft were already crossing the Atlantic in the 30's and 40's and yet were abandoned? Why do we know that they are coming to stay now?
* Market Forecast: How fast and how big will be the impact on the market?
* Which existing aircraft models will be easier to convert to diesel? Case of experimental aircraft versus STC'd aircraft

Mission Statement

Every month: news, facts, and comments on the coming revolution for piston-engines aircrafts between 130 and 400 HP: Retrofitting a diesel engine to run on Jetfuel or Kerosene, reduce Gallons/Hour by some 30%, eliminate ignition systems (magnetos, spark plugs) and their problems, eliminate mixture control, increase TBO to 2,400-3,000 hours, increase performance between 6,000 and 12,500 ft., and drastically reduce Operating Costs.

The letter is intended for piston engines aircraft owners, manufacturers, fleet operators and FBOs, re-manufacturers of engines for these aircrafts, manufacturers of engine components and ancillaries, and all professionals acting in decisions of engine exchange or refitting at TBO, in North and South America, Pacific Rim, African continent, and all parts of the world were Avgas, Mogas, Kerosene and Jetfuel are available.
