I have to disagree with Wolfgang on this one, but I do accept his premise t=
hat a 240 HP turbine will consume a lot more fuel than a 240 HP recip.

But the amazing thing is getting 241 HP out of a 125 pound engine.  *That* =
is impressive!

Put it in context - my IO-360 gets 180 HP and weighs 260 pounds.  Marv's en=
gine provides 33% more horsepower and weighs less than half.  We can run ev=
ery comparison under the sun and argue all day long to no conclusion -- how=
 much extra fuel weight we need to carry, how much less engine weight we ne=
ed, and so forth -- but the bottom line is that this little engine enables =
some aircraft designs that just would not be possible with a recip.
