The new DeltaHawk engine might be a very good fit for the RV15. Especially in the European and Overseas markets, in Europe Jet A is around half the price of 100LL. The savings are about $260 in a 50 gallon fuelling, if 50 gallons is 5 hrs flight and you do 200hrs a year, it comes to $20,800 savings in one year.
Thats not chump change and these figures dont allow for the claimed 40% more efficieny than a Lycoming engine. Only issue, and a big one, is lack of pedigree for the company or engine
