Close, but a bit off.  I'm just surprised that with all the

types on this mailing list, Marc hasn't already received a ration of

from everybody ;-)

The 20B has 50% more air flow, fuel flow, hp, etc. than the 13B, all

other

things being equal.  3 rotors / 2 rotors = 1.50 = 150%, or 50% more

than

the

2 rotor version.

My 25 cents worth.

Ah so right Tom!
2 rotor = 80 cu. 3 rotor= 120 cu in (as spec by Mazda...). Mass flow
from calcs 20B=41.3 lbs min; mass flow from 13 b =27.3 lbs min. So
actually 41.3/27.3=1.5128205
You add more of course than just a rotor, or displacement!
