Too late! Here, in the end-times of the "Cheap Oil Era" as GM and Chrysler sink into the sunset, V-8 engines, heavy sheetmetal bodies and all, and battery cars from China are coming soon, the bullet train plans on paper, and fission fires being set to fuel them all, the aviation boys look to retro designs to save a modest '%' in running costs for a habit declared indulgent by conservative Asian executives, who 'fly around' their factories on very reliable software from India. (good bye to you too Microsoft, may you rest in Hell for your crimes against the American intellect!) A turbo-prop engine will get you nothing! look to the small craft bio-diesel piston engine out of Mexico for higher fuel efficiency, and fuel efficiency is all that will count, as the dollar falls from glory, the Yuan picks up power, and America goes broke!

But the project was dropped because of public opinion that prop planes were old technology, even though the plane would have greatly improved efficiency.

Why bother with a picture that illustrates exactly what RR is NOT making? That’s clearly not a picture of a dual-propeller open-rotor engine.
