Doug, I have some questions after reading the Turbo Compounding report.

You say: "For ease of installing the unit near the front of the rotary it is best that the input shaft and output shaft both turn in the same direction."

Which end are you describing as the front of the rotary? Need a more definite term here as the engine is oriented differently in pusher vs tractor planes. Also, which shaft do you mean by output shaft? The engine output shaft or the turbine output shaft?

Also, it is not clear to whether you are using just the reduction drive from the rotrex or the whole unit including compressor as well.

Thanks,

Hans
