According to Duke Engineering, their axial engine is the most efficient and lightest engine you can put in boats, light aircrafts, and generators—the mechanical engine of the (near) future!

Looks like a swash plate engine to me. Those have been used in torpedos for years and years, though running a special self oxidizing fuel (fun fact - when exposed to air, the fuel turns into cyanide). They do have an amazingly high power density for a piston engine.

Oh you're right, I have seen these. I was in the Marines but I have seen torpedo mechanicals in the past. Do helicopters use a similar design?
