Or perhaps a belt driven centrifugal, feeding into a belt driven screw
compressor, which in turn feeds the engine.  The screw would act sort of
like a meter pump, and the centrifugal could overcome the high speed =
screw
inlet VE issues. I do have a leftover 2100A screw compressor kicking =
around
here someplace......
