Just a heads up, one of the stress engineers and I are going to try to build
a computer model of the intake path of the rotary (probably start with just
one port, the end housing, and work from there) to maximize volumetric
efficiency. IE, we want to solve for the changes in velocity and airflow for
various changes made to say, a stock 88 NA intake.

Anyone able to CC me any relevant SAE papers (I'm not a member) or point me
to other data sources? Anything I need to watch out for? This guy is very
good at aircraft but he's not too car savvy, so I need to guide him along
here a bit.

You can buy the papers without being a member Mike. Also some library's
have them on microfiche and they will let you copy them. 
See the SAE paper list on the ACRE NL web site.

Is this for cars or airplanes Mike?
