large aircraft is 90% jets, small aicraft relies on very few engine manufeturers, they have been building gas engines for many years, diesel development (diesel itself has been around for about 100 years) is a recent thing (variable geometry intakes, direct injection,..ect) factories need time(and money) to reorganise them to make diesel engines.also i think aircrafts themselves need to be modified for that eng.. too much to invest, imo we are more likely to see mini jets, than diesels. this is a cool little plane.
