Hello Paul, Steve Carlisle, Dragan Ristic et al,
the P+W RE may be based more or less on the layout / technology developed by
C-W + John Deere ...
The patents filed last year by P+W are dealing with aircraft themes - so I
guess that their [rotary] nengines may be "ready to use" ... (?)
Here's a long list of the [rotary] patents filed in 2016 ...
All filed on 2016-08-04 ...
Wo2017024394
Engine assembly with combined engine + cooling exhaust (for APU)
Wo2017024393
Turboprop engine assembly with combined engine + cooling exhaust
(see enclosed file)
Wo2017024392
Aircraft heating assembly with liquid cooled internal combustion engine +
heating element using waste heat
Wo2017024391
Auxiliary power unit with variable speed ratio
Wo2017024390
Auxiliary power unit with combined cooling of generator
Wo2017024389
Auxiliary power unit with electrically driven compressor
Now the ones filed 2016-06-20 ...
Wo2016205934
Compound engine assembly with direct drive of generator
Wo2016205933
Auxiliary power unit with excess air recovery
Wo2016205932
Auxiliary power unit with intercooler
Wo2016205931
Compound engine assembly with bleed air
And patents filed on 2016-02-19 ...
Wo2016131156

duct
Wo2016131151
Compound engine assembly with common inlet
Wo2016131150
Engine intake assembly with selector valve
Wo2016131149

There may be more patents with "US..." or "EP..."
I think, Pratt+Whitney is a "big player" in the aero market + their
engagement is no fake / joke ...
With kindest regards
