The PMA engine was supposed to revolutionize aviation. The PMA engine has come and gone. So have many others. Many ideas sound great on paper. What is important is what has actually been produced. How many of these engines have been sold? How many engines have actually been built? How many customers have received delivery as of today? How many of the engines are flying? What is the highest time engine? I'll bet none of these engines are yet flying. As a result, it still remains an idea on paper and a crap shoot. Be careful.....Henry Bouley is no longer around to talk about his engine.
