Default I know it's not car related, but still cool engineering!

Paul Bailey has designed his own 4-stroke 150cc all alloy engine for his paragliders . Wipes the floor with the 2-strokes for range and durability . Designed and built from scratch by the Bailey boys .

Nice, but what about a YB on the glider? Just need to be a weightlifter to carry it.

Im shure cosworth did a aeroplane variant of the YB.
