      How about the Fisher(GM) XP75 with the Allison 24 cylinder V-3420-19 coupled engine with contra-rotating props.

        You guys laugh at the R-8720 now. However, once it's installed in Air Biscuit and flown to it's full potential, no one will be laughing...

          Veering OT, but there is this thing:

          Power plant is a Zvezda Russian(?) 42-cylinder marine diesel. This one has been converted to gas. Maybe someone here knows more about it and can explain further.
