There ARE alternative engines out there that have been specifically developed for aircraft. Some examples:
Bombardier ‘V’ engines
SMA diesel
One obstacle is getting these folks to recognize kitbuilders as a viable market. I talked to SMA a couple years back and they weren’t interested in working with kitbuilders. Thielert has said they may work through kit manufacturers in the future, but nothing yet.
Of course, these engines aren’t cheap either. SMA was $55,000 for just the engine, but it is nice. Electronic control with mechanical backup.

I ran into the same dilemma with Hartzell at OSH ‘07. They will offer the 3 blade composite to us, (now available on the Cirrus G3) only if Richard VanGrunsven offers it as a kit built option through the company. It has all the features of the aluminum Scmitar with less weight, more climb power and less vibration transmission – plus the sex appeal.
