    Vishnu-

    There are other threads on this forum that will provide additional information - search for "long tail" and you should find them.

    My experience (I was just there yesterday) involved long-tails with gasoline-powered, four-cylinder automotive engines (guessing at 1.2-1.5 ltr displacement) which did not have mufflers, but were using turbo-chargers, which did quiet them.

    Propellers were, universally, large (24"+ diameter) 2-blade.

    Are you planning on building some?

    There are some applications with more modest engines.

    Best regards,
    JPC
