Engineering Propulsion Systems (EPS) continues to make progress on the development of its clean-sheet Graflight V8 diesel engine for the general aviation market. The phase one flight testing program has now been completed and the company has added staff, production capabilities and new tooling to its facility in New Richmond, Wisconsin.

 

Built around eight cylinders, the EPS Graflight engine is designed for high performance airplanes running in the 320 to 420 horsepower range. “The progress has been encouraging,” said EPS president Michael Fuchs.
