The engine, designed by T Alert Aircraft Engines, is notable for its fuel efficiency and reliability. Pedersen's flight plan follows Charles Lindbergh's historic route, but aims to complete it in half the time. The Centurion engine, certified for various fuel types, is seen as a potential game-changer in aviation, offering cost-effective and reliable performance. It can be used in factory-built aircraft and retrofitted to existing planes.
