Would there be any advantage in using a tyson garvin type design
engine with shafts side by side for aircraft?

I remember reading the newsletter regarding the "lots of power radial
rotary" subject someone had a few months ago and it got me wondering;
instead of stacking rotor upon rotor from front to back, why not for
a racing aircraft, could we stack them front to back and side-by side
like Tyson's engine. It would fit in wider cowled aircraft easily.

Clearly, one would need to do some serious engineering and machining
to obtain such a thing as mr garvin did, but it is just a thought.
I've been losing sleep over this idea. I have enough knowledge to
drive myself crazy and not enough to solve my own problems... yet.

It is hard for me to respond to this. Don't be offended.  Since we are getting
650 HP out of a two rotor perhaps you are thinking of building a scale
Spruce Goose ?   It would make a great flying motor home.
Half scale would be 1800 HP with eight engines or so.
A little less for a half scale B29 with 4 engines.

Now an off shore racing power boat is another matter. That could really
use the power.

I guess my question  is: What are you going to do with all that power?
