Dan:
You have to understand three points before you can understand:
1 - How fuel injection works on our engines.
2 - What has to be done to satisfy the FAA.
3 - What truly controls progress in certified aircraft aviation.
A1 - Fuel injection for our engines does not work - Not in the way you
think it should work. Here is why - Fuel is injected into ALL the
cylinders at the same time. Yes, ALL the cylinders. It is injected into
the same area just before the intake valve where the primer primer line
goes. And (repeating myself) it is injected into ALL the cylinders at the
same time. ONLY the cylinder that has an open Intake Valve lets the fuel
into the cylinder and Only that cylinder that puts a Spark to the air:fuel
mixture fires. The other cylinders suck in the fuel and spit it out. What
a waste! So, if aircraft engines just went to a INDIVIDUAL injection
system, just think of how much less fuel would be used.
A2 - Now, this information I do NOT have first hand experience with. But,
you will always hear from those that attempt to get or have gotten an STC;
how difficult it is to work with the FAA to obtain the authorization
FIRST, they are a Government organization and that equates to INEFFICIENT
- LAZY and self-professed JOB SECURITY. The only other job that is as good
is a Weatherman. They can be wrong all the time and still keep their job.
SECOND, O! Wait a second, there is no second reason. the FIRST covers it
all.
A3 - One would consider an engine company as an engineering company.
Engineering - Innovation and Progress driving a better product. NOT SO!
Layers, Law Suits and Litigation is the backbone of engine companies.
They truly believe that 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'. Putting it
another way: They Lost and Won all their battles - The engine is at a
state of "If it breaks it ain't our fault!" We proved IN COURT, how good
our engine is. So why open up an new can of worms. Progress is hindered
by LAWYERS and supported by FOLLOWERS.
Dan, if you want Engineering - Innovation and Progress - Go EXPERIMENTAL.
At least until the Government takes that away from us also. O! They are,
they WILL. Just read the latest Accident Reports from the FAA. They are
pointing fingers right now... Only time until they get all the senators on
their side and have the UN-knowledgeable populous supporting them. HELL!
It worked for the EPA, why not the FAA!

I agree with Barry's post but would add that the carbureted engines also provide
a continuous flow of fuel to the intakes. So the aircraft injection doesn't
differ from the carburafion in that sense. Also, automotive injection if its not
Multi-point Sequential sprays a continuous mist into the intake. Throttle bodies
work this way with a single point injection. This type of injection is more
effecient than carburation and doesnt require a venturi so icing, while still
possible, isnt considered a prolem like it is with a Carb. The Continuous
Injection System, CIS, was originally a Bosch design. Originally, there were no
electric circuits involved or any computer. It's very simple and rarely fails
so it is a good system for aircraft. The systems common today in autos all have
a limp home mode that would lead to a forced landing in an aircraft. Those
that require a computer that is. Aircraft had multi point fuel injection back
even before WWII according to my Dad who worked on them. They had a fuel injection
pump like a diesel still uses tody and did not rely on any electric or computer
systems. They say they are more suited to supercharging than carbs

Just for the record, the inlet valve on any cylinder only opens on the intak
e cycle ie every 2 revolution. Our engines are 4-Cycle: 1. Intake 2. Compres
sion 3. Power (Ignition) 4. Exhaust. So the only fuel wasted is that which i
s not combusted during the power cycle ie rich mixture, poor ignition etc.

Unless the rules have changed, I could not fly an owner-maintained aircraft into
the US nor I believe night VFR - thus becomes nothing but a local toy.
