The aircraft has completed multiple flights and reflects both the transition from ground development to flight testing and the rapid progress in bringing a new propulsion option to the Piper PA-44 Seminole.
The liquid-cooled, 180HP turbo-charged DeltaHawk engine produces turbine performance at 40 per cent better fuel efficiency than reciprocating avgas engines, while also achieving a significant reduction in ownership cost.
Piper's partnership with DeltaHawk Engines signifies a commitment to exploring alternative propulsion solutions that offer enhanced efficiency, performance and sustainability in general aviation.
