The engine and disk are well behind the pilot; I would be more concerned about the tail rotor driveshaft...

I'll tell you what happened to me here. I sort of knew that BJ Schram was working with the Solar turbine from talking with Ric Stitt. In fact maybe Ric even told me that BJ was doing what you said above. I got confused because TEAM (Tennessee Engineering and Manufacturing) who built the MINIMAX had an airplane that rang a bell in my head like that helicycle that BJ is screwing with. I thought someone had put a turbine on one of those ultralight airplanes of TEAM's. They had something they called the Aerial cycle or something like that about 10 years ago, but I can't remember what the exact name was. So, I was corn-fused a bit about it, thinking it was on an airplane. Let me ask you guys who know about this a question. What if the Solar detonates or starts coming apart. Is there appropriate shielding around the turbine to protect the pilot? BWB |
