REFLECTOR: 11,500 data for the DH engine

[Alex Balic]

Yea, that should be about right- diesel fuel has more energy per gallon
then 100 LL and the direct injection process by design allows it to run
at max efficiency (no throttle plate)

Just noticed that Deltahawk published (yesterday) airspeed and fuel flow

data for their DH160-equiped Velocity flying at 11,500 altitude.

To me, as a non-expert in engines, that data seems just amazing:

> ... at 145 KTAS and 11,500 feet MSL the DeltaHawk is burning only 3.81

> GPH or more than 36% LESS fuel than the IO-360 ...
