On a 3 rotor in economy cruise, would it be possible to completely shut off
the center rotor fuel injectors and just pump air? I am sure friction losses
would not be much, and fuel savings could be high. Many cars do this now by
shutting off the valves or some other method. Would the lack of a power pulse
unbalance the engine? Would tracy's unit somehow adjust for this lower power
output without increasing the flow to the other injectors?

How about seal lubrication Marc? If you are injecting oil, I think oil will
accumulate in the spark plug holes and they will be unable to work later
when you need them?
