Oh, we accept it anytime! Only the certified spam cans have a problem with

How long will it be before we accept computer driven fuel injection in
airplanes? I have driven computer fuel injected cars for several years
now
and have only had trouble with the ignition part on a Ford car. Otherwise
they have been flawless.

That engine was originally designed to be a 20 degree V6 so that
manufacturing costs could be significantly reduced by only having to make
one head for a V6. The idea originated from the Volvo 5 cylinder which is
cut from a block of cast aluminum. It also simplifies the intake system
due
to the centrally mounted plenum and injection rails which was nearly
impossible to get right when using earlier carb systems. That engine
costs
no more to produce than a double overhead cam 4 cyl, but with 6 cyl
output.
They may have changed it to 15 degrees to dampen more of the vibrations
associated with either a 4 cyl up and down or V engine rotating mass that
is
not matched balanced like a V8 (issues that they have with 90 degree V6
but
don't in 60 degree V6).
Cool design though I don't know how practical for plane due to the need
for
computer to make it most effective...
