Nice engine, and I must admit that I'm a sucker for a fine piece of machinery.
However, an article about that engine on Flying Magazine's website says the engine
is expected to go for $25,000 in the end user market. I'll sell you my
complete and flying Air Camper with Continental A75 engine, plus a year's worth
of oil and avgas, for HALF of what that new diesel engine is expected to cost
when it's available. If it's ever available.

I thought that the twin crank/opposing piston design was new and innovative when
I first saw it at Oshkosh. That is until I toured that WW II US submarine parked
at the San Fran pier while on a business trip and talked to a guide who used
to serve on them. They used two huge twin crank opposing piston diesel engines
turning generators (like a locomotive), and he said many 30s cargo ships
used them too.
