Well...doesn't sound as revolutionary as they say.  Aircraft Engines of
today use some pretty exotic materials, and do have some pretty heavy
engineering requirements.  Just because they are "old" designs, doesn't mean
they are carved from stone.

The real problem here is that people are still making reciprocating engines
with many parts.  Trick materials and fancy solid modeling techniques are
not enough.  We need to change the fundamentals.
