Kit Planes had another article on aircraft piston engines.
31 percent of accidents are caused by mechanical failure
of the piston engine. Most parts that break are not even in
a rotary.

Nobody has ever cracked an e-shaft let alone break it and that includes
the turbo 650 HP version in the time to climb to 10,000 feet  record aircraft
running at 80 inches of Hg manifold pressure and 8000 RPM.

Here are some jpgs.
