CD-155 Engine Upgrade
Upgrade to Diesel for increased efficiency and lower running costs
Upgrade your avgas engine to Diesel for a more efficient way to fly
Talk to us today about the benefits of our CD-155 Engine Upgrade. It's the smart, progressive and revenue-building option that allows you to operate your aircraft in a more efficient way. Perfect for flight schools or private operators.
When powered by Continental Diesel’s CD-155 Turbo Engine, both the Cessna 172 and Piper PA28 aircraft can travel farther and are capable of delivering higher payloads than regular AVGAS powered aircraft. Running on the cheaper and more readily available Jet A1 or Diesel, these upgraded aircraft also benefit from a fuel burn that is up to 38% more efficient than comparable AVGAS engines, offering significant savings to operators.
Don't have a Cessna 172 or Piper PA28 to upgrade? Not to worry, talk to our sales team about which ready-to-fly options we have available.
CD-155 DIESEL ENGINE BENEFITS
Operators are afforded increased performance, with a range of 745 nm (200 nm extra) per tank of fuel and a service ceiling of 17,500 feet (an extra 3,500 feet).
INCREASED PERFORMANCE
With 97.5% less CO, 28.5% less CO2 and no lead emissions, the CD-155 engine is your more environmentally friendly choice when compared to the AVGAS engine.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
The CD-155 engine provides approximately 38% more efficient fuel consumption with a fuel burn of 24 litres per hour at 75% power.
EFFICIENT CONSUMPTION
In many countries around the world AvGas can be hard to come by, making the Diesel/Jet A1 running engine a practical and reliable choice.
WIDELY AVAILABLE FUEL SOURCE
By running on a cheaper fuel course in addition to offering a more efficient fuel consumption, this engine upgrade means cost savings.
COST SAVINGS
Pilots have a reduced workload, a quiet cabin and are flying with a new engine. That means improved safety conditions for the pilot, passenger and operator.
IMPROVED SAFETY
