Default Aluminum Flywheel
My McLoed Magnum Force twin disk FE clutch and flywheel weighed about 23 pounds and failed 3 of the 6 spokes at the outer radius. I hope you guys have done an FEA of the structure in your design and do some extended durability testing too. I have to say the McLoed unit went through three engine rebuilds before failing but it did fail to the point that I could not release the clutch because of flywheel flex at the Infineon SAAC event.
