I am not expecting the 16X to be any better for anything except fuel economy in the auto application and puttering around with an automatic transmission.

=A0A three rotor equivalent could produce (based on displacement) around 31= 5 HP at 6000 rpm - now that would be great for larger aircraft.

With the lighter weight, it would also be great with smaller aircraft...if = you could keep the plane pointed in the right direction as you rolled the p= ower in that is.
