Look what they are using for an engine.

Looks like a Mazda. Maybe a Mistral.

Too bad they don't have an email address listed.

Well, whoever supplies the Neo engine, it will be interesting to see how
it performs, and more important, how it holds up.  As you well know,
helicopter applications really put serious demands on their engines, if
the engine is marginally sized for the aircraft.

An R22 de-rates the 150 hp Lycoming to about 125hp, and most likely the
Neo will need a bit more for various reasons.  A Hughes 300C has a 180hp
engine and uses every bit of it.
