Hi all.
Is there anyone in the group with a rotary
powered heli, or have an ongoing helicopter
project using rotaries ?
Best regards.

Lots. Unfortunately most of them probably failed because
the designer underestimated the rotary cooling requirements.
A large fan mounted on the front of the e-shaft would be
called for and the engine derated for that power loss.
This was done well by Robinson.
The cooling air should be taken in at the very front and exited
at the rear to take every possible advantage of the waste heat.
