New engine design a winner with PowerSHAPE

DeltaHawk Inc., based in Franklin, Wisconsin, has developed a powerful all-aluminium diesel engine for military drones - the un-manned aircraft used for surveillance and other dangerous battlefield operations. Diesel engines are simpler, more fuel efficient and more rugged than gasoling engines.
