So a friend of a friend has offered a jet engine with considerable life left before any work is needed. The cost is less than an overhauled Continental IO-550. I thought about a Turbine Cozy but wouldn't a purpose built design be better. Maybe a stretched cozy for simplicity of design. This is why I asked an earlier question this week about ruddevators. Which such a powerful engine, I suppose one could power a solid cross country aircraft that could carry 4 pax and their luggage at least 1,200 miles at 240knots or greater. Thoughts?
Open to all design method but I suspect composite will be the best building form if my numbers could be achieve.
