Keith Moore and I were talking about this yesterday at the hangar.
Keith mentioned that people trying to convert an auto engine to
aircraft use frequently fail. Some problem arises that overwhelms
them. They give up. Usually liquid cooling or the PSRU. I believe
that Boeing or Lockheed would not give up but they have the enormous
resources to persevere and solve the problems. They do what ever
it takes.
We aim to prevent failure when it comes to wankel rotary engines. That is why
we are here sharing our considerable knowledge and experience.
Many rotaries are now flying without serious problems. That is a wonderful
start and assure the long term success of the rotary in aircraft use.
We aim to continue to provide the help that will make them faster and better.
If we are able to make the rotary powered airplanes faster that will garner
a lot of attention in the experimental aviation world and convince even
more people to use wankel rotary aircraft engine power.
We are not here to make money. We just strongly believe the wankel rotary
engine is the light aircraft engine of the future.
