According to an article in a flight magazine, Mr Robinson has said that he's working on a design for a 5 seater aircraft.

The problem he has is the power plant. A turbine would be too costly, a turbocharged piston to complex and a diesel too heavy. His choice would be for a diesel but no decision has been made yet.

Also he's not looking at this year or next year for the new heli!
