7 SEP 07: CESSNA TELLS DEALERS DIESEL 172 ON THE WAY

CESSNA has told its dealers that new turbodiesel powered 172s will be available from the factory for the 2008 model year.

This follows an announcement in June confirming that Cessna was working with Thielert Aircraft Engines to fit the German company's turbodiesels into new aircraft.

The dealers were told that the new model will cost $15,000 more than the existing 180hp avgas 172. The price will be $298,500, including Garmin G1000 avionics and integrated GFC700 autopilot.

Performance includes a fuel burn of 4.9 US gallons/hour (18.5 litres/hour), a cruise speed of 129ktas at 80000ft, and a 690nm range with a 550lb (249kg) payload.
