This is an intriguing design concept, currently geared towards light helicopter use, but wouldn't surprise me to see it in a fixed wing at some point. It will be interesting to see how it's received, and if there is existing airframes that it would suit. Overall weight seems right for the 180-200 hp range, and the it's a matter of how well would that aircraft fly using 120 hp in an emergency scenario.

Soloy has had this concept on a larger level for quite a few years.

Yep, as they say, everything that's old is new again..... I wish these guys luck, it could be a promising development, but no doubt these things will be expensive.
