As far as the drag race guy goes, I have met him and he has forgotten more about engines and gearboxes than you will ever know. He has designed and built a Hydrogen engine for General Motors, he designed and built a FADEC system and a complete fuel injection for John Force who has won 100 National Championships. I wonder if you have ever won anything. I have seen his shop and he has 7 CNC's two 5,000 HP dyno's and everything else needed to fabricate anything one could imagine. Tom is not the only one that is afraid of your design of a gearbox or the EngineAir solution. When the main drive is about .050in. thick for 400 HP that my friend is a design that needs much rework. I think Tom is putting his engine in a hot rod. That is the only thing he would trust it in. After all he can pull off the road when it quits. I watched the gearbox fail. If it had lasted another 30 seconds you and the folks at EngineAir would not be trying to defend yourselves on this site but rather in a court of law. You should thank your lucky stars that it broke when it did. I believe in safety and lowering the risk of flying not increasing it. As you know EngineAir does not owe me any money nor do I know any of you personally. I am only asking anyone that is looking for an alternative to a Turbine or an aircraft designed engine to beware. Find out everything you can from all sides then make your own decision.
