On October 4, 2007, Cessna announced its plan to build a diesel-powered model, to be designated the 172 Skyhawk TD ("Turbo Diesel") starting in mid-2008.<ref name=":2" /> The planned engine was to be a [[Thielert Centurion 2.0]], liquid-cooled, two-liter displacement, dual overhead cam, four-cylinder, in-line, turbo-diesel with [[FADEC|full authority digital engine control]] with an output of {{convert|155|hp|abbr=on}} and burning [[Jet fuel|Jet-A]] fuel. In July 2013, the 172TD model was canceled due to Thielert's bankruptcy. The aircraft was later refined into the [[#Special versions|Turbo Skyhawk JT-A]], which was certified in June 2014 and discontinued in May 2018.<ref name="AvWeb1">{{cite web |url = http://www.avweb.com/news/aopa/AOPAExpo2007_Cessna_172SSkyhawk_DieselEngine_196294-1.html |title = Cessna to Offer Diesel Skyhawk |date = 2007-10-04 |author = Russ Niles |access-date = 2007-10-05 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120305162216/http://www.avweb.com/news/aopa/AOPAExpo2007_Cessna_172SSkyhawk_DieselEngine_196294-1.html |archive-date = 2012-03-05 |url-status = live }}</ref><ref name="Niles28Jul14" /><ref name="GoyerApr2008">Goyer, Robert: "Skyhawk With a Bang", ''Flying'' magazine April 2008, pp. 64–68.
