  • Thielert's mission to get GA running on diesel

    <P>Thielert Aircraft Engines' rapid climb to become a world leader in jet-fuel piston aero propulsion has been in close formation with that of its biggest customer, Diamond Aircraft. Now - having made its reputation as an original equipment supplier to the Austrian airframer - the German engine maker is firing up its retrofit business, particularly in the biggest general aviation market, North America.</P> <P>Founded in 1999 by entrepreneur Frank Thielert, who 10 years earlier had started a Hamburg-based enterprise developing high-performance automotive racing engines using diesel technology, the breakthrough for the company came in 2001 when its Centurion 1.7 was selected by Diamond to power a diesel version of the single-engine DA40. Later that year the 135hp (100kW) engine became the sole option on the DA40's twin-engined sibling, the DA42 Twin Star.</P> <P> <TABLE style="WIDTH: 445px" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 align=center border=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TH> <H6 align=right><IMGhttp://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/Thielerts-mission-to-get-GA-running-on-diesel-213184/
