LAWRENCEVILLE, GA =E2=80=93 On Saturday, February 4, Experimental Aircraft
Association Chapter 690, located at Gwinnett County Airport, Lawrenceville, Georgia
will host Dr. Andre Teissier-duCros, Publisher of the DieselAir Newsletter=20
(www.dieselair.com) and authority on the diesel engine. Dr. Teissier-duCros will
discuss the coming of diesel engines to replace gasoline engines on General
Aviation propeller aircraft. He is the only person in the world specializing
on this topic.
Putting a diesel on an airplane has much more momentous consequences than
saving on fuel expenses. It increases the range of a typical single engine
General Aviation aircraft to the point of making of it a true IFR cross country
vehicle. The range at low power settings in case of emergency is especially
enhanced. The market value of many older planes is handicapped by the high
cost of engine overhaul as a percentage of total operating costs. A diesel
conversion will increase market value for aircraft used intensively as trainers,
small charters, cargo and personal transportation. Safety is incredibly
improved - no more on board engine fires for instance. For amateur built aircraft,
it opens new fields to explore. Many world distance records for small
aircraft will be beaten by diesel powered craft.
Dr. Teissier-duCros, a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial
Materials with experience in piston engine technology, is an IFR rated Private
Pilot and aircraft owner. His main business, Gean Overseas, Inc.,
(www.geanoverseas.com) is an international consulting firm providing mergers & acquisitions
and other strategic services to manufacturers of machinery and industrial
goods. As a consultant, he has worked with various aircraft and engine
manufacturers including the present owners of the aero diesel engine manufacturer
SMA. Through his work he communicates directly with SMA (France), Thielert
Motoren (Germany), Wilksch Airmotive (UK), DeltaHawk Aero Engines (US) and=20other
firms engaged in the emerging market for diesel aircraft. Andre lives in
Atlanta and flies from PDK Airport for business and pleasure, often using his
Cessna 182 to visit businesses in the Eastern half of the U.S.
Dr. Teissier-duCros will discuss why diesel is coming now rather than 30
years ago, present a US market forecast for aero diesels and who is the
competition proposing diesels. The presentation takes place in the EAA Sport Aviation
Center, Gwinnett County=E2=80=99s Briscoe Field. The free program will begin at
10:30 and is open to the public. Breakfast and/or refreshments are available
beginning at 8:00 AM. Ample aircraft and auto parking is available. For
additional information contact Joel Levine, 770-394-5466 or jlevine@bellsouth.net.

I am considering having rivets and seems covered when having my airplane
painted next month. I would appreciate any comments good or bad on doing so.
Will it be prone to cracking or pealing. Will it add any significant weight.
will it have any effect on speed or stall? Thank you for any comments. Dean
