EASA Issues TC For Continental CD-170 Engine

CD-100 Series Has Accumulated Over 7.1 Million Flight Hours

Continental has received EASA Type Certificate (TC) validation for the Jet-A CD-170 engine.

The CD-170 engine is part of a series that has accumulated over 7.1 million flight hours. The newly certified Jet-A engine is included in the current type certificate for the CD-100 engine series. The TC is the first of many certification programs Continental plans to apply for other foreign validation type certificates.

“We are pleased to reach this significant milestone for the CD-170 engine”, said Jurgen Schwarz, Executive Vice President of Global Engineering of Continental Aerospace Technologies™. “This milestone represents the dedication of our team and our commitment to advancing Jet-A technology. This engine design demonstrates innovation through our enhanced fuel system that provides an additional level of redundancy, making it a safe and reliable option.”

This 170-horsepower engine has a higher power output that is achieved through several internal design features, such as an increased fuel injection rail pressure and adjusted injection time. These and other design changes result not only in higher performance output but maximized efficiency through an overall improved combustion process. The CD-170 operates efficiently on Jet A-1 or Diesel EN590, reducing fuel consumption by up to 50% compared to comparable gasoline engines. The engine benefits from reduced operating costs and has extended endurance or range that is monitored from the engine’s FADEC system.

This engine design has received production certificate validation and has been integrated into Tecnam’s P2010 TDI aircraft.
