Mobile, Alabama, May 27, 2020 — Continental®, an AVIC International Holding (HK) LTD
company (HKEX: 232.HK), announced a new partnership with Tecnam S.P.A. to launch the
P2010 TDI with the CD-170 engine. Continental’s Jet-A fueled 170 HP engine offers the ease
of flying a single lever control coupled with electronic engine monitoring and redundancy
safety features.
The CD-170 is the newest design and highest horsepower engine in the CD-100 series family.
The CD-100 family of Jet-A burning engines is a proven platform with more than 6,000 engines
delivered and over 7.1 million flight hours in service. The CD-170 has several key differentiators
from others in the series. The CD-170 engine has a lower compression ratio that allows for higher
fueling and more power. This technologically advanced fuel system design incorporates an
enhanced fuel system for an additional level of redundancy providing aviators additional peace
of mind. Continental® expects to receive EASA approval by the end of May 2020.
“The P2010 remains a modern aircraft for fleet schools and individual aviators”, said Paolo Pascale,
Tecnam, CEO. “By incorporating Continental’s Jet-A engine, the P2010 TDI is the ideal aircraft,
combining a modern, sleek, “green” design with consistent, robust power.”
“Continental is proud to be Tecnam’s newest aircraft partner, bringing innovative aircraft to
aviators around the world,” said Robert Stoppek, President & CEO of Continental Aerospace
Technologies™. “We remain committed to serving our partners and Tecnam’s customers with
expert service and support. This partnership reinforces our dedication to provide customers
freedom and choice with their engines that only Continental can provide.”
The single-engine, high-wing, four-seat aircraft is currently available to order through Tecnam’s
dealer network.
