The aircraft diesel engine or aero diesel is a diesel-powered aircraft engine. They were used in airships and tried in aircraft in the late 1920s and 1930s, but never widely adopted beyond this. Their main advantages are their excellent specific fuel consumption, the reduced flammability and somewhat higher density of their fuel, but these have been outweighed by a combination of inherent disadvantages compared to gasoline-fueled or turboprop engines. The ever-rising cost of avgas and doubts about its future availability have spurred a resurgence in aircraft diesel engine production in the early 2010s.

dbo:abstract
  • The aircraft diesel engine or aero diesel is a diesel-powered aircraft engine. They were used in airships and tried in aircraft in the late 1920s and 1930s, but never widely adopted beyond this. Their main advantages are their excellent specific fuel consumption, the reduced flammability and somewhat higher density of their fuel, but these have been outweighed by a combination of inherent disadvantages compared to gasoline-fueled or turboprop engines. The ever-rising cost of avgas and doubts about its future availability have spurred a resurgence in aircraft diesel engine production in the early 2010s. Using diesel engines in aircraft is additionally advantageous from the standpoint of environmental protection as well as the protection of human health, since the tetraethyllead antiknock ingredient of avgas has long been known to be highly toxic as well as polluting.

  • Mesin diesel pesawat terbang atau aero diesel adalah mesin pesawat bertenaga diesel. Mereka digunakan di kapal udara dan dicoba di pesawat pada akhir 1920-an dan 1930-an, tetapi tidak pernah diadopsi secara luas di luar ini. Keuntungan utama mereka adalah konsumsi bahan bakar spesifik yang sangat baik, kemampuan terbakar yang berkurang dan kepadatan bahan bakar yang agak lebih tinggi, tetapi ini telah sebanding dengan kombinasi kelemahan yang melekat dibandingkan dengan mesin berbahan bakar bensin atau turboprop. Biaya avgas yang terus meningkat dan keraguan tentang ketersediaannya di masa depan telah mendorong kebangkitan produksi mesin diesel pesawat pada awal 2010-an. Penggunaan mesin diesel di pesawat juga menguntungkan dari sudut pandang perlindungan lingkungan serta perlindungan kesehatan manusia, karena bahan tetraethyllead antiknock dari avgas telah lama dikenal sangat beracun serta mencemari.
