Plans,no; but the designer did kindly offer building instructions and Noah apparently did alright by them alone :)

Lessee...basic engine about 60,000 pounds.....heat exchanger 5,500 pounds, with transmission,propeller, drive shaft and all accessories, batteries, exhaust etc you're pushing 175,000 pounds, fuel is gonna be a bugger.....probably the cheapest thing would be a set of plans for an old liberty ship....engine basically is about 16 feet long 6 feetz wide and 10 feet high.....those used to be used as pony engines on a well drilling rig...
