6 MAR 07: THIELERT'S TWO LITRE

THIELERT Aircraft Engines is releasing an updated version of its Centurion 1.7 turbodiesel, the Centurion 2.0.

As well as the 0.3 litre increase in displacement, improvements include a lighter cast gearbox housing, interfaces for glass cockpits, plus a new service tool that allows FADEC to be programmed in the field.
CEO Frank Thielert said, "As already seen in the Centurion 1.7 and the Centurion 4.0, we have utilised tried-and-tested technology in this development step and have allowed the ongoing improvements and innovations from automotive volume production to flow into our own development."

The new engine will be used for all installations. Customers whose aircraft are currently equipped with a Centurion 1.7 can replace it at the end of its life with a Centurion 2.0.

Markus Steinberg, Head of Quality Assurance at Thielert added, "The engine has already been certified by the European and US aviation authorities, in August and October 2006." The Centurion 2.0 will now be delivered as an installation kit for Cessna 172s and Diamond's DA40 TDI and DA42 Twin Star.

Thielert is also expanding its service and sales network worldwide. In the UK, it acquired Airtime Aviation Ltd based at Bournemouth Airport earlier this year.
