Question for Engineers here

I have a engine that needs to run @ 48oo RPM
I need it to drive a shaft at 90 deg to engine at about 530 RPM
A rear end ( car ) would work except I dont know of anyone that makes a ring and pinion close to that ratio .
It would be too large for the housings i know of.
So. Maybe a planetary set up?
your thoughts are appreciated .
PS - I do not want use a jack shaft arrangement, as thats what i am trying to get away from.
thanx in advance !
