With GDI using highly compressed fuel, it seems likely that this would prevent its use at higher altitudes. But I'm not sure about this, perhaps the common rail system and injectors are built strong enough to be stable even at higher altitudes. Does anyone have knowledge about this?
The reason I ask is because some auto makers are starting to produce turbocharged, light weight, powerful GDI engines that, on paper anyway, seem to have great potential for airplane conversions.
