Don't hold your breath. Continental has had their CITEC engine, they
refuse to call it a

Actually, it's strange that more diesels haven't been used in planes. The
low
revving powerband is ideal, most auto-gas engine conversions have to use a gear

reducer for the prop, since they badly lose efficiency over 2000 rpm. I suppose
weight is a factor, but there have been plenty
