<VV> Corvair aircraft

[Western Canada CORSA]

Not to put too fine a point on it, but it would especially behoove the "new
cylinder head development team" to work with the aircraft crowd IMO as they
would be yet another group with the interest in seeing it come to fruition
and the financial resources to make it viable.

Regards,
Joel

I'm well aware of the concerns about the Corvair crankshaft being able 
to take the stresses of turning a prop, but the guys flying Corvair 
engines are technically rigorous and no crazier than the typical 
experimental/homebuilt aircraft type. It would probably behoove the 
Corvair community to have a tighter relationship with them.

There's a guy who seems to be leading the commercial end of the 
endeavor:

and here's a guy who has built an exceptional engine and been flying 
it for a while:

These are all, of course, very small homebuilt aircraft...one or 
barely two seaters as long as the two aren't heavy people.

habit...
