Ok so it looks like a 6 cyl diesel which has a turbine attached to it and it could drive a prop with power from either the diesel or the turbine........ but why? High altitude maybe? i can see no point of having a piston motor when you can use a turbine........ unless it is a dodgy low hours then rebuild type turbine or maybe it is the eco friendly dual fuel model
Turbo prop engine
Hmmm not sure on the turbo prop thing, Most turbo props i have seen aren't that big, mainly on crop dusters (Turbo Thrush's?), and why have a crank and pistons? Dead weight when you have about 1000hp on tap.
I had thought it might be a set up with a prop for high torque low airspeed lift etc.... short strip takeoffs using the prop then put a bit of pace on and run with thrust maybe?
Ok so i am ignorant someone enlighten me!!!!

holy shit,$90000 for that boat anchor
Shit, have not seen a deltic since I was apprentice :D
The SA navy used to have them in the minesweepers, think they were a plane motor that was adapted to marine use. THey did not like running at slow rpm and used to blow up regularly which was good for us appys as we got to rebuild quite a few. 3 Cranks 72 pistons (36 male and 36 female)
