Thielert Diesels Achieve EASA Certifications
Key Takeaways:
- Thielert's Centurion 2.0 and 4.0 diesel engines have received new EASA certifications for installation on the Piper PA28 and Cirrus SR22, respectively, with U.S. validations and further model approvals expected soon.
- These certifications are anticipated to significantly open the market for Thielert's 4.0 engine and support its expansion in the U.S. through an increased service network.
- Thielert engines are particularly popular in Europe due to the cost difference between avgas and diesel (Jet-A) and are already used on Diamond aircraft.
- Cirrus Design is evaluating Thielert's progress on the SR22-G2 STC with interest but highlights the extensive development time needed to mature new technology to meet high customer expectations.
