Hi,
Here's a simple question, and I hope the answer is straightforward also:
What besides a redrive needs to be done to convert an automobile engine for airplane use?
Put another way: Why can't one mount a redrive on an auto engine and just go fly?
I'm thinking in particular of two engines: the BMW R1200 motorcycle engine, and the Smart Car engine. I don't understand why one can't just hook them up, and have done with it.
Please educate me.
