DeltaHawk may happen after all... (June 2015)
http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news...-224284-1.html
A controlling interest of the company has been sold to an outside investor who has taken over as CEO, they are hiring staff and say they are taking it to production. I would really love to see this engine in production at a reasonable price point. Their website has been scrubbed of all technical or pricing data. Time will tell... |
Same here. The promise of these new engines are really intriguing but they do have to be built and sold at a competitive price first!
|
KEY word....Price! what was it, 65K or so?

Well they're on the exhibitor list, booth 177, Main Display, so there ought to be a fair amount of promises to be had this year......I expect Paul Bertorelli'll be all over it for those of us not there.

Sigh..
10 years and still not able to answer the two questions: How much? When? |
I'm local to the Deltahawk operation and our EAA Chapter toured their facility in 2001. The engine looked promising back then, but I don't think they have figured out how to invert the V configuration of the cylinders, thus the crank shaft is low and cylinders high. In the past they've said that they only provide an engine, how it is attached to the plane is the owners problem, including engine mount. How experimental do you want to be?
|
Does anyone have real experience with this engine? What is the durability? And TBO?
Interesting that googling deltahawk gets a comparison chart for RV's. |
I'm holding out a whole lot more hope for the Del-120 unit given that its already pulling duty with Uncle Sam.....
