Very old diesel engines used a blow torch.. or other means to get preheat

Diesel: A Compression Ignition Engine. Regardless of the fuel used.
Schedule 52 Diesel, which is the Diesel fuel sold at pumps for cars and
trucks, is very nearly the same specification as Schedule 54 Diesel, which
is sold as Jet A.. the main difference between the two schedules is
that Jet A

There are Diesel model airplane engines (or were) - they did not have a
glow plug, just a thumb screw to adjust the volume of the combustion
chamber. They ran on ether and caster oil. My primary memory of them is
that they were very hard to start!
I'm not sure that the glow plug engines are
The glow plug is a starting assist to raise the combustion temperature
before start. It is not continous heat.. Combustion temperatures after
start are enough to continue the run.
Two stroke diesels ruled the world of diesels until recently [last 20
yrs].. I own 3 Detroit Diesels that are two
engines - they rely on the glow plugs staying red hot from the previous
combustion cycle for ignition.
I would say no, they are not CI. Proof? Try to start one
without a battery on the GP! Compression ain't enough.
GP engines are very old. Many tractor-type engines of
100 years ago were

Yes. The magazine article I read said
I'll bet it would run on diesel just fine, but I wouldn't ride in that plane!

A diesel engine is a compression ignition engine with direct, timed
fuel injection. Other compression engines are not diesels, including
Lister Cycle engines that use kerosene or diesel with the fuel added
to the air stream in a carburetor or which have untimed injection into
the cylinder
While we're splitting hairs, it's Diesel, not diesel - a man's name, not a
generic type of engine or fuel. Pay proper respect to Herr Rudolf.

Compression ignition is the principle of a Diesel engine. The fuel
it runs on is immaterial. For example a compression ignition engine
running on peanut oil is still a Diesel engine. In fact, that is
precisely THE definitive diesel engine.
So: Peanut oil, olive oil, soy oil, corn oil,
Actually, as I said before, the Diesel patents are for TIMED DIRECT
INJECTION compression ignition with extended fueling duration (to get
an adiabatic engine). Compression ignition is only part of the story,
there were and are other compression ignition engines that are NOT
Diesels.

I would think nearly all aircraft engines are turbocharged or supercharged
to help compensate for power loss at altitude. 4% every 1000 feet above
sea level.

Then OM 636, 621, 61x, 60x and so forth MB engines are NOT Diesel by
your definition, as they are not direct injection, but timed,
indirect injection.
