Look up Molt Taylor and his Aerocar system. He used a pusher
arrangement and seemed to have most of the problems solved with long
shaft back to prop.
His bird may still be flying some place to exhibitions?
Am sure someone will jump in here and give data on his bird and how he
coupled shaft to engine with a "power glide" clutch or some such. It
allowed a small amount of slippage at each power stroke to prevent the
pulse being transmitted to drive shaft and prop as I recall.
Best of luck with a difficult problem.
