These guys come to mind...

I assume this is a large project? If not, this link may not be of much use. If you tell us a little more, maybe we can provide a better link or suggestion. OK?

This would be a one engine proplusion machine. Electric Turbo Fan Engine. A CAD Solid Works program to draw propulsion design. Then a rapid prototype model can be made to fit Electric Turbo Fan Engine. After testing small size model, life size toy can be built. A CAD wind tunnel simulator would be a good testing place. This would keep production cost down to a minimum. The Military will appreciate the versitility of this flying craft. A small Science Project for great rewards. Tom Daily

Wow. Perhaps Boeing would be interested... but that is probably a pretty big piece to chew at this stage. Perhaps (as previously mentioned) one of the Rutan Industries would be interested: http://www.scaled.com/ is the website for experimental projects. Mojave, CA, but the internet has certainly scaled the world down.

A million years ago (more or less) I worked a short time in the Model Shop at Boeing. We built scale models of varied airframes, foils, empennage assemblies, engine nacelles... all from balsa, paper and dope, foam... all sorts of things. There was no such thing available as CAD wind tunnel, computer modeling, etc. Just plain old "Try it out and see".

As an observation, from Wiki: "By convention, electric engine refers to a railroad electric locomotive rather than an electric motor."

I would like you to keep us posted; this sound an interesting venture.

I don't know about St. Louis, but try contacting Burt Rutan. He's one of the world's top experts on revolutionary light aircraft.

While surfing, I came across this:

Power Requirements Determined for High-Power-Density Electric ...

It's pretty cool. Don't know if it's relevant to this discussion, since I can't quite figure out what you are doing.
