FUTURE HELICOPTERS BE DIESEL POWERED?

I was looking into something else but instead found this work, WILL FUTURE HELICOPTERS BE DIESEL POWERED? at .
Something interesting for future works, here, maybe. Nobody has bothered about this for over 2 decades now!

		Accession number: 82120165675 Title: WILL FUTURE HELICOPTERS BE DIESEL POWERED? Authors: Anon Serial title: Automotive Engineering (Warrendale, Pennsylvania) Abbreviated serial title: Automot Eng (Warrendale Pa) Volume: v 90 Issue: n 5 Issue date: May Publication year: 1982 Pages: p 48-49 ISSN: 0097-711X CODEN: AUEGBB Abstract: An investigator has found that, if current gas turbine engines in helicopters are replaced by compound adiabatic diesel engines, fuel savings of 40% are possible. This would hold true if the diesel engines are retrofitted to the current helicopter fleet or adapted to new helicopter designs. Problems such as engine placement, weight, and lubrication exist but may be surmountable with proper design.
