Honda has been working with Teledyne-Continental on a autogas
aircraft
engine.
Bulient, Believe it when you see one installed with your own eyes. Honda
has the ability to build one of these engines in less
than a week, weather they will really sell them to the public is the
question. Bill Jepson
I can't think of two more diverse corporate cultures. Honda is into small
high revving
engines and Continental into large low revving engines.
What do you suppose they will come up with. A GTSIO? :)

Do not count Honda out - the only reason that most likly not deliver will be
becaus an honest market survey will show them that we have screwed up
the aviation, market with lawyers, insurance companies, and big brother
government so badly that no one in their right mind would enter the
market. With a 2.85 redrive, their 3 place personal watercraft 4 stroke
engine would make a heck of a good high performance small plane
power plant. (might even be easier to cool than a Wankel :) )Vance
BTW Vance what is the schedule for this weekend. When do you need
me for the judging?
