Too bad these aren't available.  Seems like a perfect gyro engine. 
(No, I'm not suggesting you pose as a target drone.)   ;-) 
 
Hi Mark,
 
Thanks for rubbing my nose in that bit of nostalgia :-)  And yes, between Eglin and Tyndall, you do have to be careful about becoming a target drone around here :-)
 
There's a company in the UK that makes UAV rotary engines, and now that I look again, it would seem that they just took over development of the engines you mentioned.  They seem quite adamant about NOT selling to manned aircraft, or for any other application.  Basically, they want the government contracts I guess.  Pity.
 
 
Cheers,
Rusty
