In my wiki-ing I ran across the bristol Tramp -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Tramp

Which lead to finding the Besler's successful test of a Travel Air 2000

All of this led to the light bulb moment of with all the ridiculous non-Av Gas power plants why aren't more people working on this? Economically it seems brilliant, gasoline too expensive use jet fuel, live in Wyoming or West Virginia maybe even some coal, and just in case of zombie apocalypse, anything flammable.

So why not???
