DeltaHawk Engines, Inc.

DeltaHawk Engines, Inc. DeltaHawk Engines, Inc. is an American aircraft engine manufacturer developing heavy fuel (diesel and Jet-A) engines.

was formed in 1996 to answer the general aviation industry’s call for a “clean sheet” compression-ignition engine. By 1997, DeltaHawk developed a prototype engine running on a static Velocity airframe. Today, DeltaHawk continues to anticipate and exceed the needs of general aviation. And in 2018, plans to test and certify their multi-fuel (Diesel or Jet-A) 160-200 horsepower engine family for Fede

ral Aviation Administration (FAA) certification; resulting in the smallest, lightest, most fuel-efficient and reliable multi-fuel engines on the market. Aviation applications range from small two-seat Light Sport Aircraft at the lower end of the power range, to 6-seat single engine and 12-seat twin engine fixed wing aircraft and 4-seat helicopters at the high end; as well as civilian and military drones. The DeltaHawk family of heavy-fuel piston engines combines long-established diesel engine principles with modern materials and design. This forward thinking produces a high power-to-weight ratio product with the added benefit of reduced fuel consumption as compared to equivalent gasoline engines. Because of their simple, durable and compact design DeltaHawk engines have found use in these applications: Drones, Land Vehicles, Generators, Compressors, Marine Use, Mineral Exploration, and other space and weight restricted applications. As DeltaHawk explores the future, the company is committed to building the finest heavy-fuel diesel engines available.

Meet Dave Gill, our incredible Director of Engineering at DeltaHawk. We're not just proud to have him on our team because of his exceptional skills and dedication; we're also honored to recognize his service in the Royal Air Force Auxiliary Regiment – 2503 Squadron. Dave describes his time in the service; "During my early career I joined the Royal Air Force Auxiliary Regiment, No. 2503 (County of Lincoln), following the 1982 Falklands War. This is a reserve squadron based at RAF Waddington, in Lincolnshire UK, made up of ex-regulars from within the RAF Regiment, Royal Anglian Army Regiment and volunteers from with a 50 miles radius surrounding RAF Waddington. The squadrons’ role is a dismounted close-combat force protection. As a member of the squadron, I went through basic training and became a Leading Aircraftsman involved in several NATO based exercises tasked with airfield perimeter guard duty for the 6 AWACS planes based full time at RAF Waddington through that time period." His journey from military service to engineering excellence is truly inspiring! We appreciate all that he has done for our military allies and the wisdom he brings into our workplace every day. Thank you, Dave!
