    I couldn't imagine 1000 at the wheels. I'd say a man would have to be careful with the driveline! I would love one.

    Most 3406A's were prechamber engines. Some were converted to direct but generally speaking prechamber engines weren't as efficient as direct injection.

    (Yes I know I'm late)
    Don't you have to run like 20+:1 compression ratio for a PC + glowplug engine to be as efficient as a DI at 16:1 or 17:1?
    I wonder what the fuel efficiency figures would be on an Acert C15 running swirl chambers using electronic unit pumps.

    Probably because they were still building gliders back in 2018.
