Is there anything here that would be ASB to launch it in aircraft engines in WW2?

Duke is only about the 200th* outfit at least trying to bring an axial piston engine to market. The virtues of the type being compactness and hopefully lower weight. The downside is you have a lot of heat generating parts in a closely confined space. Maybe Duke has the problems solved. Engines of this type have been used in some applications. The most successful use has been in torpedo applications. Longlife is not one of the design criteria here though

*Maybe not the 200th but there have been a number of designs tried
