Warning,Warning, Danger, Danger, Will Robinson!
Yep, that is a really big can of worms.
The redrive isn't as big a problem as you think. You get into a mess when
you start talking about long drive shafts.
Torsional resonance has brought many of the great minds of the flying
industry to their knees. No joke. I do not have all of the links at hand,
but someone here does. Start by googling torsional resonance.
Then, be afraid. Be very afraid.
I you do not get afraid, keep looking, until you get afraid, because you need
to get afraid, or you do not understand the problem.
