As per the Theirlert Web Site: "The Centurion 4.0 was certified by the EASA for the installation in the Cirrus SR 22 on February 12, 2007 already. The certification of the 4.0 for the Cessna 206 is expected in the next days. These two certifications will open the market for deliveries of the 4.0 engine." Aero News.Net reports "Thielert states it has worked with Cirrus Design since mid-2005 to adapt the Centurion 4.0 to the SR-series. The STC is valid for all European SR22s. According to Thielert, the 4.0-liter diesel V8 generates 310 bhp, and provides 698 ft.lb of torque to the propeller. The engine sports single- lever throttle control, and a fully electronic engine and propeller management system (FADEC). Common rail technology, direct injection, turbo charging, liquid cooling and reduction gearing round out the engine's advanced features. Type-certified by EASA in November 2004, the Jet-A-burning Centurion 4.0 is comparable to a Continental TSIO-550-B in horsepower (350) and torque (680 lb/ft), but offers considerably better fuel economy. While Cirrus remains mum on any plans to offer a diesel in its aircraft, it isn't tough to see the significance here. After all... the mere possibility of a future diesel engine option in the world's best-selling GA aircraft would go a long way towards validating the technology. Bryan J.
