Good morning!

A friend sent me a link to your site http://rotaryeng.net/index.html
after we discussed alternative engines, and the Ford/John Deere
Stratified Combustion Rotary in particular.

I have been pursuing alternative engines to the TIGO-541 that powers our
PA31P aircraft (we operate several of these) and the idea of a rotary
has always been front and center with me.  When my son (and primary
researcher / rotary fan) was activated (U.S. Navy Reserve) in October or
2007 my research slowed considerably . . . but he's due home within a
month and it's time for me to get in gear again.

Sorry for the long note . . . but one question, if I may.  Are you aware
of viable (and perhaps certified or with certification in process) 400+
HP turbocharged engines available, or perhaps any that are looking for
an aircraft as a testbed?

Thank you!
