DeltaHawk Engines, Inc. is an American aircraft engine manufacturer.
DeltaHawk's core business is the development of heavy fuel (diesel and Jet-A) engines for general aviation and specialty applications.[1]
The DeltaHawk engine has been tested in a Velocity RG experimental aircraft, the Australian Delta D2 helicopter and has been retrofitted in a Cirrus SR20.[2] In 2011 The State of Wisconsin and the city of Racine granted low-interest loans to expand production capability.[3]
DeltaHawk was originally working toward a 2012 Federal Aviation Administration certification of its engine line, but has more recently set a goal of 2015.[4][5]
