TurboTech from France

Not that I am looking for a turboprop any time soon but thought this regenerative turboprop was interesting and not just vapourware as it appears to be fully operational.

Does anyone know anything about these .....and of course price?

It got a lot of attention at the Aero show in Friedrichshafen last week.

I sure wish them the best of luck - getting an engine like this would be outstanding. I think the biggest opportunity is in the hybrid market as a battery charger.

130 hp would be an issue for RV's.

Not for a 3, 4 or 9....

19 litres/hr?

Last time I checked, 19 litres was only 5 gallons, so 5 gph at "economy cruise", which equates to what? Maybe 78 hp????
