IS there an interest in low RPM High HP V-6,8,10,12?

Do you guys think that there would be an interest in low RPM high horsepower aircraft engines.

Like for example i designed a V-8 that would produce 600HP at 3,200RPM, a V-10 that would produce 800HP at 3,200 and a V-12 that will develop a whopping 1,000 HP at 3,300RPM.

Now this is with low boost superchargers added, there are some differences, The V-12 i designed will pump out about 2,200HP at 3,300 running full boost. (that is for my P-51 i want).

I designed the superchargers for altitude and gear reduction boxes as well for these engines. If you haven't guessed i want to get up high as well as have the HP and TQ to get up and cruse at 400MPH on 3/4 throttle.

However with all of this in the back burner and alread done with(well most of) i wasn't sure if there was a market for them.


DO you guys think that there would be an interest in a V-6 and a V-8 Design, i know that there have been discussions and that auto conversions are the only alternative to that of Lycomings and COntental engines, but im just curious.

The V-8 design was never finished, i moved up to a V-10 because the V-8 couldn't do what i wanted it to do.
