The Power
to Change the Planet

You’ll want a DeltaHawk engine for all the great things it brings to owning and operating an aircraft, including its ease of operation, reliability, extraordinary performance, and low cost of ownership. But beyond all of those great benefits, you’ll also be helping our planet.

Environmental Benefits–
Lead and Carbon Emission Reduction Profile

The inherent efficiency of DeltaHawk’s engine and its compatibility with fuel alternatives to AvGas result in capacity to drive critical reductions in lead and carbon emissions from general aviation and other end applications. See example using assumptions for annual general aviation below.

Note:
Calculations assume 30% reduction in fuel burn versus AvGas engines due to DeltaHawk fuel efficiency gains.
