 |
|
The Diemech Company is developing a Czech made turboprop unit for the RV10. It is very Cool looking and weighs only 114#. They have a display on an RV10 fuselage near the Vans booth at EAA. It will require a new cowl and modified engine mount. One possible answer to to end of 100LL.
Bad part is the cost $100k and burns 18 GPH

Outside the US, avgas is terribly expensive and often hard to find. One of my foreign customers pays around $16 USD/Gallon. Over the life of the airplane, he'll burn around 50,000 gallons of fuel. I'm sure he'd love to switch to Jet A.

Except the turboprop displayed at OSH is $100K US (projected) and burns 18
GPH regardless of flight level or taxi. I prefer to taxi at 1.2 GPH and
fly LOP in the 10 GPH range.
Interesting the turbine on display was in the low 100 pound weight.
Impressive. Something like 240 Hp.
To your point though, I last filled up near San Diego where Jet A was
$1.00 less/gallon.
