If a 1MW LENR reactor can be built that weighs <430 lbs ( 192 Kg ) then it
could be easily bolted or ducted to the rear combustor can of an RR300
turbine in an MD520 helicopter if it can heat to 1145 °F or 618  °C.  The
weight of the fuel that wouldn't be needed is most of the weight allowable
for the reactor. The volume available is about 100 gallons ( 13 ft^3 or 0.38
m^3; 2.4 feet cube, 72cm/side  )  including the fuel volume and the space
around the combustor can.  Infinite endurance aircraft :-) !
