Big difference Byron. The BSFC of the Wankel is up around .47 and Jeff's
is
down around 0.36. Very important for its intended loiter mission.

I didn't realize what you guys were talking about. What loiter mission is
this for?

The Predator is a high altitude UAV. That's Umanned Aerial Vehicle.
Used in Bosnia and Iraq. It is about the size of a 172.
All carbon fiber. 57,000 feet with a considerable payload
unlike the Aerovironment solar powered electric toy :-).
