An Overview of the NASA Rotary Engine Research Program

I thought this paper was primarily about Curtiss Wright rotary engines so I had
over looked a couple of tid bits about Mazda turbo engines in there.

This is a layout of the turbo rotary engine in a twin. Note the oblique
radiator mounting in the leading edge of the wing and the side exhaust for
the turbo charger. Cooling air is taken in through a slot in the leading edge.
I have been advocating some of these features on here for quite sometime.
These guys were sixteen years ahead of their time as the paper was done in 84.
