Remote Controlled Non-Gasoline Burning Water Craft

"In this project we investigate non-gasoline burning, remote controlled, high speed surface craft. The possibilities include an improved Roboski, modified for heavy fuel. Orbital Engines designs and oversees the manufacture of direct injection fuelmanagement systems for many of the current PWC manufacturers. They will help us modify the injection and ignition maps, and recommend compression changes for jp5 and DFM fuel. We also consider slightly smaller (<200lb) craft, powered by 50-100ccstochiometric homogeneous charge combustion ignition engines. That's a fancy name for the `model airplane diesel' that was developed almost 50 years ago. As a third option, we investigate a 16' target based on a COTS diesel stern drive or outboard. Workingas much as possible with existing technology, and teaming with good people, we should be able to demonstrate multiple solutions in Phase 1 Everybody in the defense field is looking for non-gasoline burning engines. Both the air-assisted direct injection,and the stochiometric HCCI approaches are promising approaches."
