Dear Jason,
Premier Aircraft Sales today announced that its undertaking the development
of a coal-powered DA40 modification, slated for certification in the first quarter
of 2010.
Premier, which last week introduced the Cabin Cool™ air conditioning system
for the DA40, decided its time for general aviation to go green;
in a big way. Coal is clean, plentiful, and will help America fight its
dependence on the global oil supply; said Fred Ahles, president of Premier.
The market demanded it, so we said, Lets build
it!
Although the DA40 is already the most fuel-efficient aircraft in its class, coal
will bring even greater fuel efficiency to the aircraft. Instead of buying
fuel by the gallon, as pilots do with avgas today, they can buy it by the ton for
considerable cost savings,says Ahles. He noted, however, that the
coal-burning option comes with some performance trade-offs. Instead of using
1,200 feet to take off, this aircraft will require 8,000 feet of runway. That
shouldnt be a problem since so many owners are based at commercial
airports,says Ahles. In addition, it will cruise at 59 knots;
well above the stall speed. It will climb at 6 feet per minute, and have a
useful load of 0. Ahles noted it requires a FAA ferry permit for every take off.
For more information contact Earle Boyter at (772) 321-5421.
Very truly yours,
Fred
