Your Photo of the biggest Rotor

I have seen a photo on a friends compute of a jumbo sized rotor = like the size of an oil tanker ship engine, huge!

Can you guys help me with some links to photos of massive production and prototype rotors?

Thanks

Yeah, theres another pic with a few guys and a large rotor/rotor housing sitting face up.

Love to have that huge rotor as a display in my room though.

You don't. That engine was developed by Curtiss-Wright in the 70's and produced in very small numbers.

And this doesn't belong in the FC section!

I think I read somewhere about that being for an airplane.
I would like to see the spark plug for that.
