This looks very promising, but why only 141hp?
In cruise, this would support a Cessna 182 at 100% power (equivalent to 50% power on the O-470) burning 10 gph. It would not be powerful enough for a takeoff, however.
With all the technology available today, it's frustrating that turbines are not widely available and affordable for SELs.
