Paul,

Have you seen this?

This is the first I've seen of  this engine.  I think the three shafts are
geared together with those big, straight cut spur gears seen in one of the
photos.  If it works, it would be an interesting thing to put in a P-51
airframe.

Steve,
       No idea about HP and torque ?  Thanks, EB.


I'm guessing on the order of 2000hp or more, depending on how hard you want
to push it.  The article also says it fits a 30 inch cube; very compact!.
How much horsepower do you think a four rotor engine times three would make?
According to the article it uses 13B rotors--12 of them!

Steve Brazil

700 HP times three is 2100 HP non turbo charged.

A turbo compound version might rival a R 3350 TC without
the exhaust valve problem.
