At the airport today I met a fellow devloping a water cooled lycoming 0-360.
The discussion included the rotary and he liked it for its future potential saying as others have
that it makes a better aircraft engine than auto engine.
His biggest criticism was poor cooling due to the constant focused heat with only "one" combustion
chamber, unlike recip's.
Has this consideration been solved ? overheating.

Never was a real problem. Partly because the "combustion chamber"
is rotating around inside the rotor housing.
