WOW, look at this engine
http://www.greenengtech.com/index.htm
Click on the "English" button on the left. The company claims it's a revolutionary six-stroke rotary engine. 120hp, 60lbs. Are they kidding me or what? |

I hope this is for real, but I somehow doubt it, it's probably one of
those neverending development projects. Also, with that little weight compared to comprable powered engines, unless an aircraft is specifically designed for this engine just for weight and balance's sake you'd have to put at least 100 pounds of dead weight on the nose or move the engine forward a good couple of feet.

Why would you believe *anything* this company tells you? Here you have an engine that hasn't even run, that can't be lighter or more efficient than a fourstroke and who's principale are seeking investors and customers to send them money for an idea that doesn't exist, yet you're ready endorse them? Magic engines come and go but they never work. From an engineering point of view, the world is the way the world is for a reason. You can push at the side box but you can't jump out of it.
