CD300 ‒ Series

Continental^® continues its leadership in advanced technology by offering a line of engines to meet the needs of a growing global market. Jet-A engines offer distinctive advantages as aircraft engines. A diesel cycle engine is designed for continuous high stress, making it suitable for aviation applications. Also by design, a Jet-A engine cannot operate too lean. Self ignition means no danger of detonation, since fuel is not introduced until the optimal moment of combustion. The CD-300 is a geared, liquid-cooled and turbo-charged engine. It is controlled by two redundant full FADEC. Pilot workload is lightened by the use of a single lever power control that adjusts thrust and propeller RPM's automatically. This is another example of Continental's commitment to the advancement of general aviation technology.
