> Cessna has no timeline for the JT-A and the diesel 172. [1] This is quite interesting, as I have flown in a diesel trial Cessna 182. They paid people some nominal amount to test their diesel engine, and there were several failures (though not fatal as far as I know). That plane was sold eventually, but it seems like overall the trial was a failure. I am not aware of technical reasons that should in theory stop a jet or diesel engine. I can only share the anecdote of small recurrent problems. And yes, it's loud! That's true; as is the fact that the attendant at the airport will refuse to put jet fuel in your 182 until you start it or otherwise convince them that you are not mistaken.
