They may have moved on tho the turbo. The NA version will suffer a bit compared to the gas version since they can't up the compression enough to take full advantage of the fuel. Turbo this won't be a problem.

Yes Thomas,
I know they plan a turbo Jet-A version, but when I last e-mailed Francois he said they have the Jet-A normally aspirated version running. They may have moved on tho the turbo. The NA version will suffer a bit compared to the gas version since they can't up the compression enough to take full advantage of the fuel. Turbo this won't be a problem.

Charlie,
Mistral plans on both a NA and turbo version. A turbo version should have a much higher overall efficiency. They are running a NA now.

I've long been interested in this approach. Do they have useful info on their website? Is it NA or 'pumped'?
