I LIKE it... I like it a LOT.

I wonder if the increased displacement is from thicker rotors, or 
increased lateral dimensions...

Thicker means easier adaptation in my mind for existing PSRU's.. if the 
bolt pattern remains the same. The mounting plates would need to be 
remachined...

I'm all about lighter, and I LOVE the idea of direct injection - no 
throttle lag, minimal wasted fuel - however single injector per rotor 
looks like the name of the game here.

So.. have an engine that makes MORE power than a 13B yet weighs less and 
is in theory more efficient.

Looks like a nice upgrade in the future..
