Continental Introduces 310 hp Diesel V6

Continuing the rapid trend toward diesel power in light airplanes, Continental Motors yesterday launched the V6 CD 300, a 310 horsepower jet-A-burning engine that’s due to hit the market in about two years. Continental has also dropped the Centurion name from its diesel line, which it acquired as part of its purchase of Thielert in Germany a year ago.
