Marc Cook and Tom Wilson talk it out.

Few aviation journalists are as in touch with the Experimental engine market as KITPLANES’ Senior Editor Tom Wilson. An inveterate (as opposed to invertebrate) journalist and engine guy, Tom has been watching the slow evolution of the offerings for kit builders and offers his analysis of where the market is today and where it might be going.

Are the high prices here to stay? Are alternative engines finding an avenue to success? Are Jet A-burning engines like the DeltaHawk an important part of our future?

Some of his assertions might surprise you.
