"The FAA has confirmed that we have submitted all necessary documentations. Once the engine certification is validated, retrofit kits for Cessna 172 and Piper PA 28 will be available in the U.S." Diamond Aircraft also hopes to certify new twin-engine diesel aircraft next year. All these engines will use regular kero-jet fuel, a light cut of diesel fuel. FAA wants comment on its new diesel-powered aircraft policy (see Diesel Fuel News 3/17/03, p8).
