LOOP News 5 APR 07: CIRRUS GOES DIESELThe news slipped out in a press release from Thielert about a delay in its annual results. The company says: "The Centurion 4.0 was certified by the EASA for the installation in the Cirrus SR 22 on February 12, 2007 already. The certification of the 4.0 for the Cessna 206 is expected in the next days. These two certifications will open the market for deliveries of the 4.0 engine." Thielert's 4.0-litre V8 turbodiesel is essentially two of the 4-cylinder inline engines stitched together. It produces maximum power of 350hp @ 2300rpm, though max continuous power is 330hp. It's fitted with a hydraulic variable-pitch MT 3-blade prop and the whole unit weighs 275.8kg - similar to the 310hp Continental unit it will replace, claims Thielert. It's expected the turbodiesel Cirrus will see cruise fuel consumption figures of around 45 litres per hour - a huge improvement over the 70 litres per hour of the standard Avgas aircraft.
