DescriptionRozenkranc, M. and Ernst, J. (2003) Diesel engines for Aerospace use, Engineering Center, Israel Aircraft Industries, 14 January 2003


Modern diesel engines are starting to be used in light aircraft. The main drivers for these phenomena are reduced availability of Avgas (aviation gasoline) coupled with newly developed automotive diesel engines. The new diesel engines provide higher reliability with lower maintenance and lower operating costs, with reduced fire hazard and lower EMI. The reduced availability of Avgas has created a need for engines working on other types of fuel. Engine manufacturers have identified this need and have started to develop aviation diesel engines from scratch or as automotive engine conversions.
