Sometimes I need to draw what I have in mind and today was such a day.
It's a spin-off from an other thread and maybe someone like to pick up the idea.
It's a seat/prop/engine mount assembly witch goal is also to protect the pilot.
Core could be the hard foam sold by Vosschemie and skin could be Carbon/Kevlar tissue.
First fast calculation gives less than 20 kg for the cage.
The shown cage has an engine bay witch has room for any 2 cylinder (flat or in V) and a reduction drive. So, interesting or not?
