Aircraft diesel engines
Aircraft diesel engines, commonly known as aero diesel engines, are a form of aircraft engine that began being built in the 1920s and 30s. These compression-ignition engines use diesel as the major fuel. The first diesel engines to be built were the Junkers Jumo 205 and the Packard air-cooled radial diesel engines that were used to fly aircrafts, they were not very successful.
