Hmmm.. unless both electric and diesel could individually turn the prop I think
I'd call it a diesel-electric instead of hybrid (being a Prius owner). I am interested
in this concept- not because it is so unique exactly, but because with
the accompanying weight and conversion inefficiencies I can see no advantage.
- converting rotational power to electric (alternator) costs in efficiency
- transmitting electric through the wire costs (very small)
- converting electrical to chemical in the battery (charging) costs
- converting chemical to electric (drawing on the battery) costs
- converting electrical to rotational (the motor) costs
Then there is the ever-present weight of the engine even when it isn't being used.
But still it would be interesting to learn more about this plane, the fella must
be quite an innovator. If he has only ONE really good idea in there he has made
a contribution to us all.

Motorcycle shops have been working with pressed-together cranks for generations.

The MZ201 has some attractive features, rpm, weight, power- but it is free air
cooled. I am more attracted to the MZ202 with the direct-drive cooling fan. It
doesn't have to be operated at highest power settings. Just thinking out loud-
I know very little about either though I have a factory-new MZ202 on my shelf.
