Quote:Or perhaps a system based on the Diesel cycle, which uses spontaneous combustion rather than electrical ignition.
However, that leads me to question how they get the airplane's engine to run without some form of electrical ignition system for the combustion chamber. It would be amusing to consider how that might work... some sort of impact-driven piezoelectric effect, maybe, triggered by the motion of the cylinders?
