DeltaHawk had much promise 15 years ago with their prototype engines, but went off the grid around 2010, only to suddenly reappear a year ago with a singular certified powerplant. 160hp for well over $110k. They've all but priced themselves out of the GA market.

Kawasaki is poised to do the same thing with their 2.0L turbo I-6. 375hp. Expected to hit the market next year. We planned to use it in our aircraft currently under development, but decided to go a different direction when we got word that the engine's entry price point is expected to be around $280k. Even Cirrus, who Kawasaki was heavily courting as the OEM launch customer, called BS and backed out.

110k for 160hp and 280k for 375hp is completely out of touch with the market. Total lunacy.
