Porsche actually did build an aircraft version of the 911 Motor, but withdrew them from the market when engine builders (as aircraft builders) could held liable for fatalities in crashes. (Is that called "product liability"?)

In fact, the aircraft industry suffers from a big hole in manufactured (used) aircrafts because there weren't built many in that time. (Have to look up the years when that happened).
