I'd opt for option 2. There are many shaft driven bikes that have
100+ HP engines. My concern would be the torque more than anything.
I certainly woulnd' tuse the shaft drive unit off a cycle for anything
that flew - especially with me in it..

Use the Hughes option. Use a separate tube and bearing assy to do the
lifting and the drive shaft is only for power delivery.
